This week we bring you a chilly little tale called  The Twelve Months. This story is popular in eastern and southern europe where hundreds of different variations have been told. Ours is based on the telling from the book :

Fairy Tales of the Slav peasants and Herdsmen
From the French of Alex. Chodsko Translated and Illustrated by Emily J. Harding

As we record this episode it is the hottest of hot summer days here in our corner of the world and a chilly winter tale seems just right. Our heroine will bravely trek into the frozen mountain forest and do what she has to without question. She’ll make her own way in the world despite …. Yes a nasty stepmother and stepsister problem. 

This is a tale of a good and kind heroine who accepts her fate without question and pushes forward against the odds, against her certain demise and impossible task. Yet, in the end, she is successful and her tormentors are … well frozen in ice and snow?
