Once Upon a Time

4 Extra Debut. An exploration of the dark, sinister and enchanted world of fairy tales with Michael Rosen, AS Byatt and Richard Mabey. From 2009.

"Lift up the latch and come in, my dear" said Granny to the wolf. This Twenty Minutes explores the dark, sinister and enchanted world of fairy tales. Michael Rosen, AS Byatt and Richard Mabey take us into the woods - the realm where magic lurks, stange things happen, evil is vanquished and (usually) good prevails. Why do these tales and myths continue to exert such a powerful fascination for children and adults alike?
