Tales From The Enchanted Forest Fox & Sparrow

Meg just wants to manage her coven of daughters in her quiet Cumbrian village, but when the solstice falls on the day before Lord's Day, she knows they have a strict curfew. Too bad that the Devil or the wizard Michael Scot (not affiliated to Dunder Mifflin) have other plans. Come join us as we explore the folktales around this Neolithic stone circle and recount the tale of Long Meg and her Daughters.

This week Fox & Sparrow laugh out loud as they retell a series of very short stories starring Mullah Nasruddin. His stories come from all over, but they share something in common- readers are left feeling confused on whether Nasruddin is wise or a fool. Today we explore some of his tales from Turkey and Iran!
