This week we have a story from the archives and one of my favorite collections of tales - American Fairy Tales. 'The Box of Robbers" is a hilarious story of a curious child and a hidden crate's contents.
Ep. 1309 - The Three Billy Goats Gruff
While I'm focusing on new stories from new regions this year this tale was suggested and I just had to share it! Enjoy the classic - Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Ep. 1308 - The Top Story of 2024 - The Voice of Death
One last (or first) tradition this holiday season at The Folktale Project - the most popular story of 2024. This past year was certainly a hard one for some and I do hope that next year is better than the last for all of us.
Ep. 1308 - A Visit from St. Nicholas - 2024
Today is my very favorite tradition - the annual reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.
Ep. 1307 - Jack Hannaford
A new story this week from English Fairy Tales - a collection we know quite well! 'Jack Hannaford' is a tale of two fools (a husband and a wife) and an old soldier out to fool them.
Ep. 1306 - Folktale Project Classics - Prince Autumn
This week's classic tale is a story of autumn, something that seems to have come and (mostly gone) in the blink of an eye this year!
Ep. 1305 - The Fool and the Birch-Tree
Today's brand new story from "Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore " is 'The Fool and the Birch-Tree'. A tale of three brothers, murder and riches.
Ep. 1304 - Folktale Project Classics - Mrs. November's Dinner Party
It's Thanksgiving here in the US tomorrow so today we have a revisiting of one of my favorite Thanksgiving tales. Mrs. November's Dinner Party perfectly captures that chaos that is a family holiday dinner.
Ep. 1303 - The Skunk in Tante Odette's Oven
This week we have a new story, a listener suggestion from Liz Spiva from "The Talking Cat and other tales of French Canada". Liz, I hope you enjoy the story!
