Episode Details

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

Happy New Year! May 2021 bring you light, love and happiness.

We have two wonderful wintry tales to see you through the cold dark evenings, and this episode we welcome guest storyteller Giles Abbot from London to the podcast.

Giles is a writer and voice artist, but he became a storyteller about 20 years ago when he suffered sudden (but not total) loss of sight. He found he couldn’t see someone across a table or read books and stories. So he fell in love with the art of TELLING stories.

Giles is the UK’s only blind professional storyteller and has told stories at festivals all over the country – and around the world too!

You can find out more about Giles at his website HERE.

Our story is an old folktale with many versions from many lands. Some people believe it is an old Cherokee tale. The Cherokees are from North America and have a deep connection to their ancestors, nature, spirits and oral storytelling. You can read more Native American tales HERE.
