The Folktale Project

This week's story is a full book! "American Fairytales" by L. Frank Baum is filled with vignettes and followed hot on the heels of the wildly successful "Wizard of Oz". As I'm revisiting these tales I'm thinking hard about what the next chapter of The Folktale Project looks like. I'd like to start with having you tell your stories.

This week on Folktale Project Classics we have the origin story of Count Siegfried of the Palatinate and his saint-like wife, Genovefa.

The first of our Folktale Project Classics is truly a classic tale with a (perhaps) unfamiliar ending?

Our last new story for a bit is a short (but very good) tale about death. Starting next week The Folktale Project will be replaying classic stories while we get ready for something completely new.
