Episode Details
Back to EpisodesEpisode 6 - Antrim Special with Liz Weir
Description
Welcome to Season 3 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages.
This episode is brought to you from County Antrim in Northern Ireland. We stayed at the wonderful Ballyeamon Barn and explored all the magical sites of the Glens of Antrim. We saw the Fairy Thorn tree from Season1 Episode 5 and The Giant's Causeway from our very first episode. Leo even sang the song on the actual Causeway - you can see it in our Facebook Group.
The Barn is home to master storyteller Liz Weir MBE. Liz is the storyteller in residence for Northern Ireland's libraries. She has been telling tales for over forty years and there isn't much she doesn't know about stories!
Liz is a wonderful host and was kind enough to do a little interview with Leo and tell a story from her fabulous book 'Here There and Everywhere'.
If you would like to find out more about Liz, you can check out her website HERE.
You can also find out more about the wonderful place Liz lives in this TV show HERE.
Our story is an old Celtic folktale about a very brave girl - The Lass who went out at the Cry of Dawn. We absolutely love the version by Sorche Nic Leodhas, and you can find it in this brilliant book 'Womenfolk and Fairy Tales'.
