George with the Goat

Sep 27 2023 10 mins  
A quick tale from Czechia (Bohemia).

Icarus

Sep 20 2023 14 mins  
The Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus.

The Goose Girl

Sep 13 2023 15 mins  
Another wonderful story from the Brothers Grimm. Because it's an original Grimm story, beware of a few things that are a bit icky (a dead horse's head talking and a terrible fate for the imposter). But it is a fun story and the basis for one of my favorite books.

The Swineherd

Sep 06 2023 12 mins  
A fun short story from Hans Christian Andersen. The ending is not quite what you will expect.

Beowulf

Aug 16 2023 20 mins  
The oldest story written in English. It is a story of fighting monsters and a great hero.

The Taming of the Shrew

Aug 09 2023 15 mins  
Another wonderful story from William Shakespeare, as adapted by Edith Nesbit.

The Frog Prince

Aug 02 2023 11 mins  
Another wonderful story from the Brothers Grimm. It was actually one of their favorites. Today's poem is The Spider and the Fly by Mary Howitt.

Sif’s Golden Hair

Jul 26 2023 12 mins  
Another Norse myth. It is another way how Loki makes trouble for the Gods in Asgard.

The Brave Little Tailor

Jul 19 2023 19 mins  
A different kind of trickster's tale from the Brothers Grimm.

Hábogi

Jul 12 2023 14 mins  
A nice little tale from Iceland. The poem for today is Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
