Episode 9 - Counting Crocodiles with Rachel Ann Harding

Welcome to Season 3 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages.

Happy New Year to all our wonderful listeners!  We hope that 2022 is a great year for you.

We have two lovely stories for you and in this episode we welcome back guest storyteller Rachel Ann Harding.

She is a traditional storyteller and musician, passionate about myth, and traditional tales. In 2018 she performed at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN and is the creator and producer of the Story Story Podcast, featuring wonderful tellers and tales from around the world (including us!).  Rachel's story is an old folktale from Ireland.

Our story has many many versions all around the world - Africa, Malaysia, Korea - but this is a Japanese version of the story.  It features the Hare of Inaba, who is in other Japanese tales.  In this story, the clever little hare gets the better of some snappy crocodiles.

If you would like a SHOUT OUT, or to tell a tale on the podcast, the best thing to do is join the Dragonfly Tales story chat on Facebook.  However, if you don't use Facebook, you can email us at emilydragonflytales@gmail.com and we will try our best to give you a shout out.
