I have said this before and I'm sure I'll say it again, but I think this is my favourite story so far. Sometimes you just come across a gem, and although I can't find exactly where this story originated, I know that it's an old one and has reappeared in many forms! I actually giggled while recording it and left it in because if it can make me laugh then it may just have a chance with the kids- we all know they are the most discerning of audiences! Thanks so much for listening, and I hope you giggle too!

Land of Nod | Kid's stories - Rip Van Winkle

Rip Van Winkle

Land of Nod | Kid's stories

play

10/15/21 • 7 min

Today we have a very special story indeed, from the New World, as it was once called! When this story was first published in 1819, America was still a country that was being explored by pilgrims from Europe, then called the Old World, and therefore America seemed very new to them. Indeed, the main character in this story, Rip Van Winkle, is of Dutch descent, and that is why his name may sound unusual to us! When Rip falls to sleep in the story, it is just before the time of the American Revolution, and so when he wakes up the world seems much, much changed to him! There are very similar stories to be found in Irish literature, and they usually concern people who encounter fairies and are then offered a magical drink or potion. Often they awake many months or even years later, the unsuspecting victims of fairy magic! So beware the fairy folk and their delicious magical drinks, or you just might wake up like poor Rip van Winkle!

Can you believe that this German classic was first published by the Brother's Grimm as far back as 1819! That's why I love folk tales -they are a little bit of history being listened to by the ears of the future! We hope you enjoy it! :)

Land of Nod | Kid's stories - The Nightingale

The Nightingale

Land of Nod | Kid's stories

play

04/08/22 • 13 min

This beautiful story set in the empire of China was actually written by the famous Danish children's writer Hans Christian Andersen. It first appeared in a book in 1843- and that's a very long time ago indeed! Some people say that the story was about a young lady Andersen had fallen in love with, a famous singer at the time whose voice was as sweet as that of a nightingale! The nightingale is a small brown bird and looks very like a thrush- some might say that the nightingale looks plain compared to other birds that have bright colours and shiny feathers! But the songs that the nightingale sings and its beautiful voice are one of the most beautiful sounds to be heard on earth! So the next time you see a little brown bird hopping around the garden- ask it to sing for you-it might just be our marvelous little nightingale!


The Nightingale is the national bird of Ukraine.

We are back with this gorgeous classic tale with a twist. Well, I say with a twist but it may have been the later version of this tale that had a twist, as this is probably the original version of the story, originating in England in the 19th Century! We will all know the version of this story that introduced us to Goldilocks, the seemingly innocent young girl who stumbles upon the bear's house in the woods, but I think the original is much more entertaining, as a naughty old lady is the one who intrudes into the bear's house, and they are none too happy with the results! I think this version is so much more entertaining and witty, and the character of the old lady is mischievous and mysterious, and what happens to her in the end - well, you'll have to listen and see!


Thank you so much for listening and if you like this story please do share it with a friend!

This week we bring you a very special story from the nation of Ukraine.

This retelling of the popular Ukrainian children's story is in my own words and takes its lead from the wonderful 1989 version of the story from Jan Brett but some of the written records of The Mitten date back to the 19th century and include the folklore collections of Pavlo Chubynsky. A little boy loses his brand new mitten in the white snow and a succession of increasingly larger animals comically squeeze their way in to take advantage of the warmth. Will Nicki ever find his new mitten again, and if he does, what surprises will he find inside?!


This story is dedicated to the people of the sovereign nation of Ukraine.

This week is very special! In honour of international women's day, we bring you a story specially chosen for reflecting the power of women! Many stories about kings and queens often see the woman as a background character, if not some type of wicked stepmother! But today's story is about a wise and resourceful queen who defies the king's orders in order to save both his life and the future of their kingdom! Her quick wit and resourcefulness save the day, she is not a hero because of her beauty or her status, she is a hero because she follows her heart and does what she believes to be right. This is dedicated to all the women who have inspired me throughout my journey so far, with much love.x.

Land of Nod | Kid's stories - The Hedley Goblin!

The Hedley Goblin!

Land of Nod | Kid's stories

play

03/03/22 • 10 min

Did you know that in a place called Hedley in the North of England, for many many years, people reported that there was a mischievous and tricky little elf who went about the place causing all sorts of trouble! he was known as the Hedley goblin and this story tells us about a kind and cheerful lady who happens to bump into him one day! The story is gorgeous for many reasons, and very funny, but what stands out to me most is the moral tale reflected through the good lady. She reacts to each conundrum with gratitude and grace, and at the end of the day, makes herself a good friend instead of an enemy, much to a certain goblin's surprise. It is a useful lesson in resilience and gratitude, told through the story of two most unlikely companions.


Ps, this story is very old and was originally called the Hedley Kow. Kow (it's spoken like Koooooo!) is an old word for sprite or elf, and for ease of understanding here I changed it to goblin, it first appeared in a beautiful book of fairy tales collected by the Australian folklorist Joseph Jacobs.

We are back with another classic and it's fantastic! Full of action and adventure, this one is a wee bit longer also, and perfect for smallies who love a brave and daring hero! It always amazes me just how long these stories have survived and transformed, and again and again, we look back to ancient Greece for some of the best stories ever told! This is most definitely one of them and we hope you enjoy it!
