Back to EpisodesEpisode 17 - Peter and Water Sprite with Maria Gillen
Description
Welcome to Season 3 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages.
This episode, we welcome our guest teller Maria Gillen, from County Cork in Ireland. Maria is a great friend and a fabulous teller of tales. She loves stories of magic, healing and old wisdom and has told to big crowds and small. Maria is also the storyteller in residence at the Kerry Writer's Museum. If you want to see more of Maria telling you can do so HERE.
Our story is a tale from Sweden about a clever lad who outwits a water sprite. Swedish folklore is full of fairies, sprites, trolls and other magical beings. You can find out more HERE.
If you would like to tell a tale on the podcast, have a practise at telling a 5minute folktale. Then you can record it for us (an iPhone works great if you place it on a flat surface and keep one hands width away from the microphone). You can send it to us by emailing it to emilydragonflytales@gmail.com and we will have a listen.
