Leo's story is one he wrote all himself.   It's based on the classic Cinderella story with a MASSIVE twist.  We hope you enjoy it!Emily's story is an old folktale from Somerset called the Apple Tree Man.  In the olden days, people would honour the trees and the gods of winter by singing songs, pouring cider or beer on the roots of fruit trees to ensure a good harvest the following year.  This is called wassailing.  We hope you like our version of this old tale - there is a great version by John Kirkpatrick HERE.And here is an awesome version of our song by The Watersons.
