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?
Ep. 1268 - The World's Beauty - An Armenian Folktale
Today's story comes from Armenia and is kind of a love story? Maybe if you squint?
Ep. 1267 - The Herd Boy and The Weaving Maiden
After a special announcement we get to this week's story - 'The Herd Boy and The Weaving Maiden' a tale of star crossed lovers.
Ep. 1266 - The Bird with Nine Heads
The story of 'The Bird with Nine Heads' really isn't about the titular bird, but I guess it's more memorable that way.
Ep. 1265 - The Cave of Beasts
A story of exceptionally bad parenting and the least believable "Happily Ever After" awaits you in 'The Cave of Beasts'.
