    The Freedom Bird with Dave Tonge

    Welcome to Season 6! This episode we welcome the Yarnsmith Dave Tonge to our podcast. Dave has many a yarn to spin. He is a fabulous storyteller – and also a Historian and an award-winning author! He’s written books on Northfolk folktales for children, Medieval folk tales and Tudor tales too. So if you like a bit of history to your tales, you’ll love Dave’s books. But today, he’s telling us a very old tale from Aesop about cunning. If you'd like to find out more about Dave Tonge, you can do so HERE. And you can buy Dave's books HERE. My story today, The Freedom Bird, is about a mythical bird from Asia. There are versions of this story from Thailand from Vietnam and India, but the message is always the same. It’s one of my favourite stories to tell in live performance, because it’s so simple and easy to join in with.  So I hope you join in at home listeners – it will annoy your grown ups ALL DAY! Nah na Nah na NAH NAH!

    Coyote's Singing Lesson

    In this episode we introduce Coyote, a superstar of Native American folklore. We can’t believe it’s taken us this long to give him his own episode. A coyote is a real animal, a wild dog that lives in the wide plains, forests and even urban areas of North America. They can be found right across the continent, but particularly in places like Texas, Colorado, California, and New Mexico. They can make their home anywhere, which means they are cunning and able to adapt to their surroundings. They eat virtually anything so can always find a way to live off the land. They are intelligent and great survivors. You can find out more about the coyote HERE. Native Americans, the indigenous tribes who lived on the land before the arrival of Europeans, have great respect for coyote and see him as sacred. In some old stories, coyote is a divine being and created the world itself. In others, he’s a cunning trickster just trying to survive. Sometimes he can be righteous and helpful to animals and humans, othertimes he can be selfish and a bit foolish. Just like Anansi from the old Ashanti stories of West Africa. But whatever story he is in – it’s always sure to be a good one. You find some more coyote stories HERE.

    The Magic Ear

    We go way back to old Japan in this famous story of a poor young man who saves a fish. Japan is surrounded by water, so much of their folklore comes from the sea. Japanese mermaids are called Ningyo, and they are not like European mermaids at all! Thankfully, our hero catches the Dragon king's daughter and sets her free. That's got to be worth a reward, right? You can find out lots more about Japanese folklore in this wonderful book HERE.

    Bridget and the Leprechaun

    This episode we travel to Ireland to learn about a famous Irish fairy - the Leprechaun. Young Bridget decides it's easier to catch a leprechaun and get his gold than working hard for what you want. But fooling a fairy is not that easy! Leprechauns have existed in Irish mythology for hundreds, maybe thousands of years! Many believe they are descended from the old Irish gods, or are types of Fae or fairy. They can grant wishes. bring you luck and even make you very rich! But catching a Leprechaun is very hard - they are full of trickery and have the power to disappear if you take your eye off them. You can learn more about Leprechauns in this wonderful book HERE.
