When two clumsy children fall down a well, a Water Nixie forces them to do unpleasant chores for her. Will they ever get out? And how will a hairbrush and slippery mirror come to their aid? Find out in the shortest story we’ve ever read: The Water Nixie.
After the tale, we present a mental-somersault of a theory on what the story could mean, before being taken on a journey by Jacob Grimm into the history of Nix and Nixies.
We then read out correspondence on sexism in fairy tales and our story Sweetheart Roland by some surprising contributors.

Just found this podcast and binged so hard since I have nothing better to do with the quarantine. If you want a super sexist fairy tale, try King Thrushbeard! Aka my least favorite Grimm tale.
