Our last new story for a bit is a short (but very good) tale about death. Starting next week The Folktale Project will be replaying classic stories while we get ready for something completely new.
This week's tale comes from rural Japan and shows how a young couple discovers some modern conveniences.
This week's story comes to us from the one and only Louisa May Alcott. 'Little Annie's Dream" is a story about controlling our negative emotions, something that I'm sure we all struggle with from time to time.
A story with quite the important message about tolerance, particularly when it comes to religion.
A very familiar tale of a human getting caught up in the affairs of fairies, but this time from Korea.
From 'Italian Popular Tales' we have the story of practical jokes gone (in my opinion) too far with Uncle Capriano.
This week we return to The Brothers Grimm with the harrowing tale of the making (and keeping) of a King.
This week from China we have a sweet and short story of the cooperation between man and nature.
