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.

Previous Episode

The Hedley Goblin!
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.
