We discuss The Ruby and the Caldron, and Chapter 2 of The House in the Mist, by Anna Katharine Green. Both stories provide drastically different atmospheres; while House in the Mist continues to be creepy and not like your typical detective story, Ruby and the Caldron feels much more like a classic detective story, with a very silly attitude. We also sat down with acclaimed children’s author and recent OAM inductee Anna Fienberg to talk about her writing approach and the fairy tales that inspired them.
