This week we're reading three stories from Charles Skinner's "Myths and Legends of Our Own Land" about the American Revolution, beginning with 'The Tory's Conversion'.
All in Myths
Ep. 886 - The Tengus, or the Elves with Long Noses - A Japanese Legend
Today's story from Japan is all about the tengu, a super interesting creature from Japanese folklore and gives us the kind of comprehensive background that we don't always get with mythical creatures!
Ep. 885 - The Waterfall of Yoro, or the Fountain of Youth - A Japanese Legend
This week we're in Japan for three new stories, one of a place, one of a creature, and one of a hero. Our story of a place, 'The Waterfall of Yoro' is also a tale of filial love, in honor of the coming Father's Day weekend.
Ep. 884 - Sif's Golden Hair, How Loki Wrought Mischief in Asgard - A Norse Legend
Today in our story 'Sif's Golden Hair, How Loki Wrought Mischief in Asgard' from "Children of Odin" we get to see Loki perform some of his patented mischief for mischief's sake.
Ep. 883 - The Building of the Wall - A Norse Legend
In 'The Building of the Wall' we get to see Loki use his cunning and tricks for the good of the Gods of Asgard.
Ep. 882 - Far Away and Long Ago - A Norse Legend
In the first story of Padraic Colum's "The Children of Odin", 'Far Away and Long Ago', we're introduced to some familiar Norse Gods and Goddesses and we're set up for the stories to come of life before Ragnarök.
