A very familiar tale of a human getting caught up in the affairs of fairies, but this time from Korea.
Ep. 1281 - Uncle Capriano
From 'Italian Popular Tales' we have the story of practical jokes gone (in my opinion) too far with Uncle Capriano.
Ep. 1280 - The King of the Golden Mountain - A German Folktale
This week we return to The Brothers Grimm with the harrowing tale of the making (and keeping) of a King.
Ep. 1279 - The Flower-Elves - A Chinese Folktale
This week from China we have a sweet and short story of the cooperation between man and nature.
Ep. 1278 - The Giant Who Had No Heart in His Body
'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'.
