'The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body' is a familiar tale, but one that is at the same time very much its own story of love and kindness.
Ep. 1277 - The Lost Woman
This week we have a love story from the Blackfeet Nation. It's quite a tale brought to us by George Bird Grinnell.
Ep. 1276 - Prince Sandalwood: The Father of Korea - A Korean Folktale
Today's story is a combination of my favorite types of tales and origin story and a tale told by a grandparent to their grandchildren. That it features a bear turning human is just a bonus!
Ep. 1275 - Unlucky Daniel
Today a very lucky Dan will share with you the twisted and twisting tale of 'Unlucky Daniel'.
Ep. 1274 - The Morning Star and the Evening Star - A Romanian Fairytale
Today we have a story of brotherly love and a healthy dose of mistrust. But we get a lovely story out of it.
Ep. 1273 - The Three Heads of the Well
This week's tale is one of my favorite versions of the "Toads and Diamonds" story - 'The Three Heads of the Well'.
Ep. 1272 - The Coins of Elijah - A Jewish Fairytale
Today's story from 'Jewish Fairy Stories' is a tale all about doing good with what heaven blesses us. Something we should all certainly aspire to.
Ep. 1271 - Urashima - A Japanese Fairytale
'Urashima' is the sad story of a fisherman from Japan. Sad, and yet very sweet in its telling.
Ep. 1270 - The Horse-Dew and the Witch - A Turkish Fairytale
'The Horse-Dew and the Witch' is not only a proper love story, but there's a touch of Baba Yaga in the witch that's just perfect!
Ep. 1269 - The Fairy Orlanda
'The Fairy Orlanda' is another tale of love, this time from "Italian Popular Tales". Maybe I just don't get love stories?
