The Virginia G. Piper Center for Creative Writing

James Riley takes an in-depth look at the wonder and absolute weirdness of fairy tales, why we love them.

James Riley, the New York Times bestselling author of the Half Upon a Time series, takes an in-depth look at the wonder and absolute weirdness of fairy tales, why we love them, and what it must be like to try to reconstitute an egg using only horse hooves. Spoiler alert: It can't be easy. He'll also do a reading from his fairy tale series, just to prove he knows what he's talking about, but we're not willing to commit one way or another on that last point. Join the Virginia G.
