Welcome to Season 3 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages.This episode, we welcome our guest teller Maria Gillen, from County Cork in Ireland.  Maria is a great friend and a fabulous teller of tales.  She loves stories of magic, healing and old wisdom and has told to big crowds and small.  Maria is also the storyteller in residence at the Kerry Writer's Museum.  If you want to see more of Maria telling you can do so HERE.Our story is a tale from Sweden about a clever lad who outwits a water sprite.  Swedish folklore is full of fairies, sprites, trolls and other magical beings.  You can find out more HERE.If you would like to tell a tale on the podcast, have a practise at telling a 5minute folktale.  Then you can record it for us (an iPhone works great if you place it on a flat surface and keep one hands width away from the microphone).  You can send it to us by emailing it to [email protected] and we will have a listen.

If you would like a SHOUT OUT this season, then you can get in touch with us HERE or in our Dragonfly Tales Podcast Group, telling us your first name, your age and your town.And if you like our podcast, please leave us a review (Apple is great).If you would like to donate a little something towards our podcast, we would be so grateful.  You can donate to Dragonfly Tales Podcast by clicking here: DONATEYou can also follow us on:InstagramFacebook andTwitterThanks for listening! Theme Music by Leo Grazebrook on GarageBandStorytelling and singing by Emily Hanna-Grazebrook at Dragonfly TalesProduced by Andy GrazebrookArt by Light CreativeSound effects by Zapsplat
