What an interesting interview and process! I love the idea of tears and grief providing strength, and nourishment for the hazel. Favourite fairytale... so many... What jumps into my head right now is Hans Christian Andersen's Goose Girl, the three drops of blood providing strength, the horse's head talking mournfully, a link to her past, and in the end revealing the princess's true identity.

I would love a chance to read Glass and Feathers. Cinderella also is one of my favourite fairytales, especially the 'Allerleihrauh'/ all kinds of fur version. and I grew up with the Czech-German fairytale film 'three wishes for Cinderella'/ Tři oříšky pro Popelku/ Drei Haselnuesse fuer Aschenbroedel, I have started watching it again every year around the Winter solstice (always was around xmas in Germany when I was growing up)
