Episode 12 - Mischief, Magic & Mayhem with Daniel Morden
Welcome to Season 2 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children of all ages.
So there is lots going on right now. Hurray! Valentine's Day, Pancake Day (UK) and Chinese New Year!
And we have THREE amazing stories for you in this episode.
Our first is from our young guest teller, Sofia. She is 8 years old and is telling a traditional tale from her home in France - Fox and Crow. Animal tales appear in every culture on every continent, and this one is a lovely version of an Aesop fable. Fox fools crow with its cunning and wit to win some food. A beautiful telling, Sofia! Bravo!
If you would like to read more about the French version, you can do so HERE.
This episode, we also welcome Master storyteller Daniel Morden. Daniel has been a storyteller for thirty years and he loves tales of all shapes, sizes and origins.
You can watch him tell a tale on his YouTube channel HERE.
Daniel has also written many fantastic books. You can find them by clicking HERE.
