Episode Details

Welcome to Season 2 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children of all ages.

It's Christmas Eve! We are so excited and I hope we can get to sleep tonight!

This episode we welcome guest storyteller Hannah Brailsford from Essex to the podcast.

Hannah is a brilliant storyteller who is 'captivating, compelling, magic and fun'. She has been telling stories to both children and adults for nearly ten years! 

Hannah delivers storytelling work shops to Early years and Primary children under guise of Tiny Tales Storytellers. She also hosts amazing story nights for adults as Spinning Yarns Theatre.

You can also check out Hannah's You Tube channel HERE.

Leo's story is one he wrote all himself. It's based on the classic Cinderella story with a MASSIVE twist. We hope you enjoy it!

Emily's story is an old folktale from Somerset called the Apple Tree Man. In the olden days, people would honour the trees and the gods of winter by singing songs, pouring cider or beer on the roots of fruit trees to ensure a good harvest the following year. This is called wassailing. We hope you like our version of this old tale - there is a great version by John Kirkpatrick HERE.

And here is an awesome version of our song by The Watersons.
