Episodes

George with the Goat

10m · Published 27 Sep 14:00

A quick tale from Czechia (Bohemia).

Icarus

14m · Published 20 Sep 14:00

The Greek myth of Daedalus and Icarus.

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

12m · Published 06 Sep 14:00

A fun short story from Hans Christian Andersen. The ending is not quite what you will expect.

Beowulf

20m · Published 16 Aug 14:00

The oldest story written in English. It is a story of fighting monsters and a great hero.

The Taming of the Shrew

15m · Published 09 Aug 14:00

Another wonderful story from William Shakespeare, as adapted by Edith Nesbit.

The Frog Prince

11m · Published 02 Aug 14:00

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

12m · Published 26 Jul 14:00

Another Norse myth. It is another way how Loki makes trouble for the Gods in Asgard.

The Brave Little Tailor

19m · Published 19 Jul 14:00

A different kind of trickster's tale from the Brothers Grimm.

Hábogi

14m · Published 12 Jul 14:00

A nice little tale from Iceland. The poem for today is Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
