The Little White Mitten
03/27/22 • 9 min
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.

The Three Bears
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!
