    Episode 3 - Yugi & the Tengu

    Hello Story Lovers! Today's story from Japan and features a wonderful creature from Japanese myth and legend – the Tengu! Tengus are supernatural beings with special powers and magical items. They can be depicted as part man, part bird, even as part monkey, and they have often been painted or drawn with red faces and long noses or beaks. They are not to be trifled with, as you will soon find out. If you want to find out more about Tengus you can do so HERE. We love Geraldine McCaughrean's version of the story - 'Never Tangle with a Tengu', which Emily heard as a child and we owe credit to. Halloween Jokes We need your fabulous, spooky Halloween jokes! The spookier and sillier the better.

    Lost Stories - Isis and Osiris

    Hi Story Lovers! While you’re waiting for the next new story, we’ve decided to look back into the archives at some stories that got a bit lost for a while. Every other week, we will be giving these episodes a spot light and calling them 'the lost stories'. Our story this episode takes us to ancient Egypt, land of pharaohs, gods, desert, hieroglyphs and the river Nile.  And a goddess who will not rest until her loved one is restored to her.  The story is about death, but also about life. The ancient Egyptians honoured and preserved their dead, believing that they would be reunited in the Afterlife. If you want to find out more about the Ancient Egyptians, you can do so HERE.
