This week we have a story from the archives and one of my favorite collections of tales - American Fairy Tales. 'The Box of Robbers" is a hilarious story of a curious child and a hidden crate's contents.

While I'm focusing on new stories from new regions this year this tale was suggested and I just had to share it! Enjoy the classic - Three Billy Goats Gruff.

One last (or first) tradition this holiday season at The Folktale Project - the most popular story of 2024. This past year was certainly a hard one for some and I do hope that next year is better than the last for all of us.

Today is my very favorite tradition - the annual reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate.

A new story this week from English Fairy Tales - a collection we know quite well! 'Jack Hannaford' is a tale of two fools (a husband and a wife) and an old soldier out to fool them.
