The Wolves of Willoughby Chase and other fantastical imaginings (S2E7)

In this episode Gwyn and Paul discuss our book of the month, Joan Aiken’s The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, and then dive down the rabbit hole to explore the origins of fantasy fiction. You can find the full text of Tolkien’s On Fairy-Stories here. If you wish to watch the BBC adaptation of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, you can find it here on YouTube. Gwyn also mentions Joseph Campbell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which you can find here.

All the books we discuss are in our Bookshop.org bookshop.

There is only one episode of Bookylicious this month; we will be back with two in May!
