A fun story this adapted from the tale from the Brothers Grimm, it tells the tale of the lad who couldn't feel fear and wanted to know what is was like.His father, his brother, others he meets, and even himself, think he is stupid. But beneath it all, he is quite a lot sharper than all of them.Don't forget to leave me a review of a rating if you like me.  And you can find me here:Website: https://deepinthedarkforest.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/DITDFpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepinthedarkforest/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepinthedarkforest/

The story of Cap O'Rushes plus The Smallest Elfen and the Big Fish --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/deepinthedarkforest/message

Cap O'Rushes & The Smallest Elfen

Two stories for you today! The main story is from English Fairy Tales, a book curated and edited by Joseph Jacobs, the man who brought us Jack and the Beanstalk and others.Cap O'Rushes (Cape of Rushes) is one of many tales that fits in the girl dances with prince and he falls in love with her - the most famous being Cinderella.This version is a little nicer (not chopped off toes!) and has a very sweet end.The second story is one of mine and it taken from my current massive "work in progress" - The Unicorns Tales. This is the story of The Smallest Elfen and the Big Fish, which is taken from Aelwen Jones and the Crystal Hand.I like this story, not just because I wrote it, but because it is a story for little children, and yet in my book is told by a teenage girl to her teenage friends. And I rather like the music wot I wrote for it!Don't forget to leave me a review of a rating if you like me.  And you can find me here:Website: https://deepinthedarkforest.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/DITDFpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepinthedarkforest/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepinthedarkforest/

The famous Japanese tale of the Tongue-Cut Sparrow. A new adaptation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/deepinthedarkforest/message

The Tongue-Cut Sparrow

Kon’nichiwa! Ikaga o-sugoshi deshita ka. Hello! How have you been? This week, I have leapt several thousand miles that-a-way and landed in the forest of Japan for a famous and much-loved folk story. Shitakiri Suzume, or the Tongue-Cut Sparrow.The Japanese love this tale, and famously it has been turned into a dance, the suzume-odori, which is often performed in parades with set moves and fans. It isn’t a hard dance, but it looks like a lot of fun.This is my version of the story based on the one by Yei Theodora Ozaki. I have a different ending to hers to reflect a lot of other versions, plus a little twist of my own!Here are some links for you:Twitter: https://twitter.com/DITDFpodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepinthedarkforest/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepinthedarkforest/And the audiobook Lost in Tokyo by Garrett Wilson: https://cchogan.com/audiobooks/lost-in-tokyo/
