About this listen

In this episode of "Let Me Explain," Sean Defoe takes us on a dark journey back to the original tale of Cinderella, unearthing the grimmer aspects that have been sanitized over the years. As we explore the story's beginnings from the Grimm Brothers, we'll discover that this beloved fairy tale is steeped in sorrow, betrayal, and even gruesome retribution. Join us as we dig into the heartbreaking tale of Aschenputtel and her trials, from her struggles with her wicked stepsisters to the shocking endings that differ vastly from the Disney adaptation we know today. Tune in for a fascinating look at the origins of one of our favorite childhood stories and a glimpse into the darker side of fairytales. And don’t miss next week when we dive into the eerie world of Snow White!
