The fairytale tree is based on an old Hungarian legend. At the far end of the world there lies an island. On that island grows a magical tree, and cradled in its branches is a nest holding the story eggs.
"If you take an egg and listen well, inside each egg is a story to tell."
Why Trees Lose their Leave
Stores are the voice of human curiosity answering itself. Many stories weave answers to explain the world that we inhabit. In this story compassion is central to an understanding of the annual turn of season.
The Singing Sack
It's been said, that we are just a great sack of stories with skin on the outside! This tale from Andalusia asks us all that binding question - Do we live a life that's safe, or do we take a risk for something precious?
Why Mosquitos Buzz
Sometimes when we ask a question, we begin the journey of unraveling the long line of truth. This story gives you a story to help pass those long hot summer nights, when mosquitos buzz and bite!
The King's Seed
Stories are born travelers as shown by this tale. I first heard this story in Scotland but later discovered it was an old Chinese story. Old stories love to dress up in new clothes.
Hats for the Jizo
The Jizo are the special guardians of children. In Japan you will find shrines where gifts and offerings are given to them. In this story kindness is rewarded with kindness.
