Ep. 74: Transformed: The Perils of the Frog Prince by Megan Morrison

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

"Lose yourself to be found. Transform to be transformed."
Drew and Cassie are revisiting their favorite fairy tale series, the Tyme novels by Megan Morrison! The third book, Transformed: The Perils of the Frog Prince, follows Prince Syrah of the Olive Isles, an arrogant young man who makes a wish that backfires and turns him into a frog! A sudden, deadly plague descends upon the people of Yellow Country, and as a small creature, Syrah finds himself privy to a lot of crucial and private information. He soon finds himself playing detective, trying to discover the origins of the plague and trying to break his curse simultaneously. As we talk through the story, we laud Megan Morrison for her genius world-building and clever adaptive choices, admire the creative incorporation of the various elements of the original fairy tale, lament the Tyme series' cancellation, speculate about what may have happened in the future, and more!
