Six more of Aesop's Fables. Then I share the longer poem The Lady of Shalott by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

An adaptation of the Shakespeare play.

A classic tale from The Brothers Grimm.

This is a cautionary tale from the Brothers Grimm. It teaches us to be grateful for all we have. This is a lesson I have been learning the last couple weeks. A fun story.

A fun trickster tale from Africa. Ananzi is a well known trickster that can take many forms. His stories are called spider tales. This story is very well known in many parts of the world.

A fun tale from England. Is the fool really a fool? The poem for today is I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud by William Wordsworth.

A classic tale from Hans Christian Andersen. We can all have a laugh at the Emperor who pretends to see clothes that aren't there. The poem for today is Eletelephony by Laura Elizabeth Richards.

A great story from the Brothers Grimm. Most know this story but it's such a good one. I also share a short original story and share a big announcement. Make sure you listen all the way to the end!

The concluding part of The Marriage of Sir Gawayne. Find out if Gawayne is loyal to his promise to Arthur and what he learns from his choices. A happy conclusion to the events set up from last week. The poem today is Sonnet 130 by William Shakespeare.

One of the stories surrounding King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. It is pretty long, so I have broken it up into two parts. Find out what happens when Arthur blazes into a situation without thinking and learns he can't solve all his problems with a sword or by himself.
