This week’s episode is especially for fans of folklore and readers of marvelous myths. White Cat, Black Dog contains seven modern fairytales from Pulitzer Prize-finalist Kelly Link, featuring illustrations by award-winning artist Shaun Tan. Each is inspired by a classic fable retold with a modern twist, breathing new life into old favourites with Kelly’s signature imagination and wit.
