Recs: fairy tales & folklore

[winkingstar]

I love podfic. It's all well and good to have a story that you can bring with you wherever you go and listen to no matter what you're doing (well, almost), but my love goes deeper than that. Because I grew up with a great love of fairy tales and folklore. And while I read countless picture books and stories, reveling in the wonder of words, as I grew older I lamented the fact that we've lost the culture of telling stories.

Once upon a time, they told stories to warm the long winter nights or to ease the tedium of a day in the fields. Now, we live in a written culture, where print on the page is more common than a fireside story. But then I discovered podfic. And my heart was full to bursting with joy. Because podfic brings the roots of our oral traditions alive again. I can listen to a story to warm me while I walk to the grocery store in winter or to ease the tedium of hours of data entry. Any story is good for that. But the ones that really touch me, the ones that take me away to other worlds with new possibilities, are the stories that draw on those original fireside stories. Although I don't listen to these tales anywhere near a fire, they can make me feel the warmth of a fire and the comforts of good company and great stories.

So here is a list of fairy tale & folklore related stories. Some of them are familiar tales with new twists, and some are original tales that still maintain the feeling of traditional tales.

Happy listening! And thank you to all podficcers, whether you read fairy tales or not, for keeping our oral traditions alive into the 21st century. ♥

(And please feel free to rec more fairy tale/folklore podfics in comments!)
