"If you have big hobbit feet, you're not worthy of love" | Cinderella by The Brothers Grimm Through the Pages

Our most enchanted episode yet - or is it?
In this episode, we tackle our first fairy tale and chat about a story we probably all know: Cinderella. But if your first thoughts upon hearing this are Disney, glass slipper and happily ever after, you're in for a surprise. The original story, put into writing by the Brothers Grimm in 1812/15 in their collection of tales is slightly... bloodier and a tad more sinister.
We chat about evil stepmothers, dumb princes, the heavy moral of the story and wonder - have we now developed a phobia of pigeons?!
As always, we love to hear from you. Follow us @throughthepagespod.
