'One Hour in Advance' may be one of the shortest tales I've brought you on The Folktale Project, but it's still one of my favorites from this collection.
All in German Folktale
Ep. 1026 - Legends of the Rhine - The Island of Mainau
'The Island of Mainau' is a story of the fight between love and obligation under the guise of the transfer of property rights.
Ep. 1025 - Legends of the Rhine - The Last Hohenrätier
'The Last Hohenrätier' is the story of the downfall of a tyrant on the Rhine. Definitely my kind of tale.
Ep. 1024 - Legends of the Rhine - Introduction and The Petrified Alp
You voted, and I listened. Today we begin "Legends of the Rhine" - quite possibly my favorite collection of German folklore.
