Pi-Con Panel Recap, Along With Reading List

First of all, Pi-Con rocked! I am saddened that there will be no Pi-Con in 2013, but that just means 2014 will be bigger and better than ever.

I was a panelist for "Using Fairy Tales In Modern Writing", during which several books and authors were recommended. At the request of audience members, I have compiled a list of said books.
