Katrina and Geoff discuss terminology! What exactly is the difference between a fairy tale and a folktale? What are fables? Myths? Legends? Tune in and find out.
*Note: In this episode we briefly cover the history of Aesop's Fables and I want listeners to know that it is a very brief run down and doesn't entirely cover the mystery of the author "Aesop". Folklorists might be concerned by the simplified history presented.
