• Episode 16 - The Dartmoor Pixies

  Hi story lovers! We're off to look for pixies on Dartmoor for this lovely folktale. Dartmoor is a real place and it's very magical! It's situated in the county of Devon, in the west of England. People have inhabited the moorland for about 10,000 years, but the land is ancient, stretching back into the primordial mist. It's an important reserve for rare plants and animals, and of course, PIXIES! Pixies are mischievous sprites, a bit like fairies. They can be trixy but can also be kind to those who respect them. You can find out more about pixies HERE. If you want to know more about mysterious Dartmoor, you can do so HERE.

• Episode 14 - The Witch in the Market

  Bonjour listeners! This episode, our story is from the city of Paris, France. It's a fairytale created by a writer called Pierre Gripari in the 1960s. When he was a boy, he read lots of traditional French fairy tales by Charles Perrault – like sleeping beauty and little red riding hood. And he loved them! But when he grew up, he realised that he wanted fairytales that were about where he lived – the streets of Paris. So he made up his own. And this is our version of one of his most famous – the Witch of the Rue Mouffetarde. ‘Rue’ means street in French. All the locations in the story can be found in Paris today – hopefully there are no witches there though. You can read more stories by Pierre Gripari HERE.

• Episode 12 - Azizi and the Magic Man

  Hello lovely listeners! This episode we travel deep into the forest to the cave of a mysterious man who seems to have a cave full of wonders... This is a version adapted from a story by children's author Ruth Ainsworth. My sister and I heard the story when we were little and really liked the storyline - but because it was written a long time ago, some of the language was a bit old fashioned. We hope you like our version! Remember to join us over on Patreon – you could get to be a guest teller like Astrid, you get early access, bonus content, videos and birthday shout outs!!
