    In her book Mapping Fairy-Tale Space, Christy Williams illuminates the way in which fairy tales often use maps in order to figure the fairy-tale genre itself and the ways in which "certain metafictional narrative techniques transform the fairy-tale genre into a geographic landscape on a diegetic scale" (2). ...beyond opening up her geographic scope, Williams's use of technique as an organizing principle is interesting because she uses not just one technique, but the interlocking techniques of fairy-tale pastiche and seriality (which unites her analysis of two TV series Once Upon a Time and Secret Garden, and two series of books, Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles and Seanan Mc-Guire's Indexing).
