FITCHER'S BIRD

On this Scholarly adventure, we'll revel in the feather-encrusted weirdness that is Fitcher's Bird! If you've never heard of this story, imagine Beauty and the Beast. The difference is that in this Grimm tale, "the beast" is not a handsome, enchanted prince. He's an evil, sociopathic wizard who creeps on local townswomen and keeps corpses in his house.
