We're back! This week we have a new story, one that I think is the perfect way to ease back into new tales. Something short and silly :)

I'd like to start with having you tell your stories. Have an story that you'd like to share? Reach out at [email protected].

This week's story of 'The Master Maid' is quite a tale indeed! As I'm revisiting these tales I'm thinking hard about what the next chapter of The Folktale Project looks like. I'd like to start with having you tell your stories. Have an story that you'd like to share? Reach out at [email protected].
