The Orange & Bee
The Orange & Bee is a quarterly international digital magazine published on Substack and edited and presented by Carina Bissett, in the US, and Nike Sulway, in Australia, writes Gary Dalkin.
The duo publish original short stories, poems, and essays that explore, expand on, and subvert the traditions of international folklore. They have a strong focus on fairy tales, though they also ‘dabble’ in other forms of folklore, such as fables, myths, and legends. The name of the magazine is adapted from a seventeenth-century literary fairy tale, L’Oranger et l’Abeille, first published by Madame d’Aulnoy, reputedly the person who coined the term fairy tales (contes de fées) in 1697.
