(Since starting TH-cam, some of you have been asking what's wrong with my hands. This should answer any questions :) tinyurl.com/z3k...)
NB This is not a sponsored video, and unless otherwise stated all books were bought by me.
I can not believe how much you have expanded my reading....and here you go again :) Great big hug and thank you for everything you do to bring us these wonderful videos & specifically how you have helped me to step out of the box with my reading.
+Linda Wilkins Thank you Linda xxxxx
YES!! I'm so glad you're doing this series! And that you enjoy that they are dark, twisted, folk lore / oral stories makes it that much better! Can't wait! :)
Sounds amazing. Can't wait to see what you have to share with us. Thanks.
As much as I feel you will squash my Disney childhood, I am VERY excited for this new series!!!!
I am so happy about this! I am looking forward to hearing about science and fairy tales, nothing I have heard before!

So so excited!!!
This is going to be awesome. I read Grimms Fairy Tales years ago and I don't remember much about them. Same with the Arabian Nights. Most of my fairy tales are Disney so it will be really awesome to learn all about them. Looking forward to next week and I wish I could give ALL the thumbs up.

I really enjoyed Kissing the Witch by Emma Donoghue!! It was a great take on fairytales, and they were written beautifully.

Very excited for this. I do not understand how you have time for all the things you do. Maybe you have a time turner. You know what, I'm not gonna question it, just enjoy the content.
Yessss I can't wait!!!
I'm very excited for this! I hope you start soon. I was wonder if you could maybe talk about the difference between fairy tales and folk talks, though. I've never understood the difference between them. Thank you.
I love how much you upload, so excited for this series!! :D xxx
+Wietske Janse thank you :)
Can't wait 😁

This is amazing!
I join the crowd with massive YES! :)
Now, I can't believe there was a Booktube without you. We should all thank Leena on a daily basis for pushing you this way.:)
+Anna Shuk (ChicagoJFox) xxxx
Hi there Jen...I have not been into fairytales, but I can see that you will enlighten me and seduce me into appreciating them as you have with so many other books I didn't know existed. Currently transfixed by "When God Was A Woman." Genius. Thank you so very much for just being you and sharing your passion.
+beautylover3 Thank you xxxxx
This sounds so exciting!! I'm really looking forward to the videos. :)
This is ever so interesting! I can't wait until you upload more videos on this topic! :-)
Looking forward to this new series. I've bought that collection of Grimm Fairy Tales after you mentioned in a while back, as well as the Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked. Haven't had time to read them yet, but really looking forward to those as well. x
This is so exiting :) I can't wait! Xx
This all sounds very exciting! Particularly looking forward to discussions on "the Other" in fairy tales :)
+Claire Quigley (ClaireQuip Reads) I'm excited to delve into that further ^_^ x
OMG OMG OMG I'm so excited! I love fairytales and I love you and I want to know everything!!!
+Maria Sudermann I hope I didn't scare you Jen, I'm just really excited)) xxx
+Maria Sudermann Not at all - I embrace the excitement (and you!) x
I'm so excited to see these videos, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on them :D
I can't wait to see these videos! Your ideas are always great. I would recommend you Croatian author Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić who was writer for children and used a lot od Slavic mythology in her work. She was even nominated for Nobel Prize several times 😘
This could be fascinating. I was thinking of looking at the dark origins of fairy tales for my dissertation, so I'll certainly be awaiting these with great anticipation.
This is going to be so much fun! I just finished the Brothers Grimm Fairy Tale book and I have to say ... I feel a bit like Disney has lied to me my whole life! LOL!
such a great introduction to what sounds like an incredible series! I'm thoroughly looking forward to hearing all of your thoughts on fairy tales. x
Very excited for this new series, I cannot wait to hear your thoughts on fairy tales. I also need to find a copy of the original Grimm's Tales edited by Jack Zipes, it would be such a fascinating read in comparison to the modern adaptions.
I am so excited for this series! I love all your content and cannot wait till next week. There were so many of my favourite buzzwords in that video.
Eeeee my heart is singing.
+Lydia Holmes Thanks, Lydia :D x
Now I'm really looking forward to this! As a child I read and was read a lot of classic fairy tales in a very sugar coated editions for children. I want to know what the original versions say!! Have a great weekend! xx
+Victoria All will be revealed ;) and thanks! x
This is going to be so much fun! I want to read your books and many fairy tales! I have yet to actually find your books in the store so I may need to go online
I AM SO VERYEXCITEDDDD
Exciting!! =D
Fabulous series!
Thanks!
In conducting some research for my dissertation I was going through back issues of Index Medicus, the index of all medical articles. Turn of previous century there was a category called "monsters" for infants born with deformities. It wasn't part of my dissertation, but I found myself tracking Monsters for as long as it still appeared as a medical category. It was over 10 years ago, so I don't remember when Index Medicus stopped using it as a category for medical articles.
In the UK, until the 1880s, anyone born with a deformity was medically called a monster. (I was researching this for a book.) I'm sure that the term was used well past that date, though, in many professional circumstances.
Your channel is excellent. I am discovering so many great books and exploring genres that are outside my norm. I enjoy nonfiction, mainly medical history. As a child and young adult I really enjoyed science fiction and fantasy. I am really feeling inspired by so many new books. Thank you.
your discussions!
Hi Jen! I was wondering if you are interested in French folk/fairy tales? If so, I would recommend Ti-Jean, and Ti-Jean-Le-Fort, by Melvin Gallant, two traditional Acadian fairy tale volumes. Acadians (I am one) are the descendants of French immigrants to the New World in the maritime provinces of Canada. Anyway, I find Ti-Jean extremely fun, and I saw similar story lines when reading traditional Irish fairy tales, which perhaps mean these stories were transmitted across the channels and languages..The two books are now out of print, but they have been split up and reprinted with different titles.
Wow, so much background reading to keep up with this! I'm really excited for this series it will be so interesting!
I'm so excited for this. Fairy tales and their origins are something that intrigues me and I have a feeling you're going to have some very interesting things to say about them. :D
+Olivia Pope (Reading like a mad woman) Thanks Olivia :) x
so hyped for this
Omg Jen this is genius !!! ;)
this sounds like the perfect course of the english degree I've never took! :D I'm really looking forward to all those topics, specially the one about how women's voices found representation in the fairy tales!
talking about supporting by buying your books... I've bought The Bookshop Book at Book Depository back in January, but I very stupidly mistook the billing address for the delivery address, so... I've supported you from Brazil, but someone else living in a very tiny room in a students hall in London got the book! I hope they've read it and now follow your channel as well! :D lol
lots of bookish love!
Jen, this sounds like a fantastic series! Will you explain how you personally distinguish fairy tales from myth?
Holy moley! Sign me up!
I can't wait to see the videos! I don't have a deep knowledge of fairy tales, but this looks so interesting! I actually want to know more. Have you ever read Italian fairy tales? Of course the most important fairy tales are the ones recently written by Calvino and I've seen some of his books in your videos. We have also Giambattista Basile, the film "Tale of Tales" is based on his works. Thanks to you I will look more into this world!
Italian kisses
+bitterwords yes, The Tale of Tales just had a new translation published in English - purchased it this week ☺️
Are u gonna discuss the Disney version of fairy tales?
How much have fairy tales been a medium for conservatism over the ages?
Is HP a fairy tale? How about Animal Farm? The (o no!) Narnia books?
This is amazing, very much looking forward to this series! I'm also relieved that you're going to feature non western fairy tales too, there are many that people don't seem to know which is a shame. Have you read any fairy tale adaptations by A.S Byatt? Studied her last year for university; her approach to fairy tales is both refreshing and beautiful.
+Jess Miller I yet to read any AS Byatt, actually - not sure how I've escaped that...!
+Jen Campbell Ah no! If you're interested, a good place to start is 'The Djinn in the Nightingales Eye'. Its a great collection :) !!
So excited for this!!!!! Have you read Theodora Goss? I have just started her book "In the Forest of Forgetting" which is a series of short stories. The first, "The Rose in Twelve Petals" is a Rapunzel/Sleeping Beauty re-telling and is interesting because she gives each "character" a voice, including the spinning wheel and the tower which I thought was very cool.
+Maureen Campbell Donatelli That's quite a common trope in fairy tales :) xx
Very very excited for this!! :)
Also, not sure if this is just me but when I tried to click on the "previous video" box, the current video just opened again in the next tab. Thought I'd let you know I was having trouble with this incase others are too xx
+Brooke Haley Thanks! Have fixed :) x
If you're interested in reading fairytales from around the world, you could give a try to AK Ramanuja's folktales. He recorded the folktales that have been passed down orally for centuries in India. I am not too familiar with the western fairytales except the predominant ones, but I hear some of Ramanujan's fairytales are similar to or are a different version of some well known stories, as is the case with the fairytales of different countries. And, this is an interesting concept for a video :)
What the what Jen I'm starting with Sleeping Beauty too ;) but it sounds like we're doing things differently so all is good and wonderful!
+acacia ives Haha - yes - wanted to do a dissection after the Matthew Bourne comment in December; it's a good'un! I think we are doing very different things :) s'all good! x
Jen Campbell well there will be a lot of fairy tales going round booktube and I think that's magical
Great series coming =D Yey !!!
I haven't red yet "The Uses of Enchantment" (1976) by Bruno Bettelheim an american child psychologist, but it seems to be really interesting, that speaks about the "psychoanalysis of fairy tales".
+Cactus Tea I read quite a bit of Bettelheim when I was writing my dissertation - particularly 'The Uses of Enchantment' :)
Jen Campbell Okay ! ^^ Thank you for the reply :)
I'm really looking forward to this! It sounds super interesting and it gives me a great look and recommendations into a subject that I'd like to look deeper into :) would you do a discussion on Peter Pan as well, you mentioned some thoughts in your His Dark Materials video and they sounded interesting, I'd love to hear more if you can!!
+Shazana Mansoor Yes, I'll be hosting a readalong of Peter Pan later this year. :)
Very excited for this!! When are you going to write your own fairy tales?
+Gio Marty my poetry is inspired by folklore and I'm currently writing a short story collection also, in part, inspired by fairy tales.
Super excited for this!! Fairy tales are such an interesting look at social history. Have you read any Asian fairy tales? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
+Katie Clarke I have indeed (particularly before my trip to Japan last year) - I'll discuss this more in future videos :)
+Jen Campbell I spent much of my childhood in South-East Asia and fairy tales and myth are such a huge part of the culture, so I'm really excited to hear your thoughts! :)
New subscriber here and I'm so excited I found your channel :)
+Michelle aka constantconnie Welcome!
Love this idea! Subscribed! I enjoy telling and reading stories on Twitter. Have you ever spoken about Twitter Fiction?
Can you please talk about Peter Pan? You seem to know a lot about this story! :)
+Femke Jacobs I'm doing that later this year - I'll be hosting a readalong :)
Wow, thank you so much! I'll definitely be joining!
Hmmmm I wish I could just skip ahead to the future to watch these videos without having to wait. ;)
+The Sheep and the Wolf Patience, patience ;) x
+Jen Campbell AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
+The Sheep and the Wolf Though I do appreciate it ;) x
+Jen Campbell Anytime! (SERIOUSLY THOUGH, ANYTIME NOW. OK no, I'll stop. And wait. In patience. My biggest talent.)
+The Sheep and the Wolf haha, ILY x
Have you read any Cornelia Funke's works? I think she's one of the best authors in fairy tale genre!
+Stella Wenny Yes :) And she's in my book, The Bookshop Book, too :)
Oh my God I really really have to buy The Bookshop Book!!
Question, me and one of my friends where wondering around some book shops today, talking about fairy tales and started talking about the lack of unconventional relationships that seem to appear in not only the history of fairy-tales but even in modern adaptations of fairy-tales (eg: same sex or even polyamorous). I did a quick google search and the only one I spotted was a novel called The Princes and The Treasure by Jeffrey A. Miles, Jackie Phillips. Anyway I was just wondering if you have stumbled on anything about this on your research or what your thoughts are on this?
+Emily Jayne modern day fairy tales often have LGBTQ+ themes - check out Emma Donoghue and Kirsty Logan :)
oooh thank you I will :)
Also have you read The Princes and the Treasure by Jeffery A Miles and J L Philips? I haven't read it yet but have heard good things about it.
:D :D :D!!
Educate me, Campbell!
Excitement! So looking forward to this!
Oh!!! I'm so excited for this!
+Sara Taylor :D
