FAIRY TALES THROUGH TIME
with Jack Zipes
Tuesdays, 11 am EST/8 am PST
January 12–February 16, 2021
Registration Status: OPEN
Tour Cost: $15 per session, $75 for series
Ages: 15+
Oddly Modern Fairy Tales, the first series about fairy tales led by Jack Zipes for Armchair Journeys, brought so many fairy-tale fanatics together from the USA and Europe that we have no other choice: we must continue. For the rest of us novices, the exploration of newer fairy tales brought us to an entirely new world of symbolism, political commentary, and fantasy.
Jack’s second series will include a historical exploration of tales, starting with Greek and Roman stories and progressing through the 19th century. We will be reading from 4 books:
-
Spells of Enchantment: The Wondrous Fairy Tales of Western Culture, edited by Jack Zipes and published by Penguin Books in 1991 (We won’t read all 814 pages!)
-
Hans Christian Andersen, Fairy Tales, translated by Marta Hult, edited by Jack Zipes, and published by Barnes & Noble in 2007
-
Oscar Wilde, Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde, edited by Gyles Bransreth with an afterword by Jack Zipes, published by Signet Classics in 2008
-
Charles Perrault, Little Red Riding Hood and Other Tales, edited by Jack Zipes, and published by Penguin in 2011.
It is not necessary to read from these exact editions. The titles are available from Amazon, some on Kindle, and ABEBooks.
Detailed reading and thinking assignments arrive in one’s inbox from Jack about a week before each discussion. Each session lasts approximately one-and-a-half hours. Start times are at 11:00 eastern, 10:00 central, 8:00 pacific, 16:00 UK, 17:00 European. The 2021 dates and the tentative content are as follows:
January 12–Selections from Spells of Enchantment
January 19–Selections from Spells of Enchantment
January 26–Selections from Hans Christian Andersen, Fairy Tales
February 2–Selections from Hans Christian Andersen, Fairy Tales
February 9–Selections from Oscar Wilde, Complete Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde
February 16–Selections from Oscar Wilde, Complete Fairy Tales of Oscar Wilde and Charles Perrault, Little Red Riding Hood
*Schedule is subject to change.

Joan Hill
Owner, Host, & Director
Having dipped her toes in diverse careers, including leatherwork, medical research, and small business administration, you could say that Joan is a multitalented woman. Growing up in a family with supportive parents and three accomplished older siblings in the Hudson River Valley, New York, meant that Joan had a lot to live up to. However, she was always encouraged to do her best in whichever path(s) she chose.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in German literature and afterward working in Hamburg, Germany for one year, Joan realized her great joy of traveling. Bringing together Joan’s life passions, including her lifelong love for music, her appreciation of art, and her fondness of Italy, she began Artful Journeys in 2009, when it was then known by the rather wordy moniker of Tuscany: A Journey For The Senses. Joan also has owned a bookkeeping business for architects and various small professional firms in New England since 1993, in which she is still active.
