Our sixth episode invites renowned storyteller Liz Weir MBE to the podcast.

Liz tells one of her own lovely tales, based on Irish lore, The Mermaid's Gift.

We met Liz at the wonderful Glens of Antrim Storytelling Festival and stayed with her in the cosy Ballyeamon Barn, where storytellers come from all over the world to share stories and have a lovely time.  If you're ever in the Glens, why not go and stay at the Barn?

If you want to find out more about Liz Weir then you can visit her website HERE.

Our story this episode is a classic fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen - but told with our own Dragonfly Tales flavour.

Andersen wrote some of the most well loved fairy tales ever, including The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling and The Tinder Box.  This book, An Illustrated Treasury, is a lovely introduction to his stories.
