“I had no idea that the gate I would step through
to finally enter this world
would be the space my brother’s body made.”
From “The Gate” by Marie Howe

In this podcast I tell the last in a trilogy of stories about sisters who save their brothers from enchantments, “The Seven Ravens,” collected by the Brothers Grimm.
