Raising the curtain on our brand-new series, Red is joined by Emily Urquhart.
Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Emily is a journalist with a doctorate in folklore from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Her latest book, Ordinary Wonder Tales, is a collection of essays exploring the way in which we weave fables and fairy tales into our own personal narratives, using them to make sense of new or disturbing situations. Often deeply autobiographical, Emily’s essays are meditations on, among other subjects, fear, grief, genetics and memory, that draw universal truths from the stories we tell ourselves.
Join Emily and Red as they trace some of the timeless traditional tales that continue to resonate through our own daily narratives.
