To discover the fey folk, the true fairy of the lore of old, we will travel from the high moorlands of Northumberland, England’s most northern and most sparsely populated county to the verdant hills and wild crags of southwest Ireland; from Scotland’s Orkney Islands, ridden with neolithic sites and gold-white sandstone cliffs, to a sleepy village in Suffolk - these are stories of fey folk and their fey worlds.

S01  Episode 1: Fey Worlds

This podcast is a storytelling journey through world-folklore. With brief context and analysis in the introductions, the main focus is the retelling of stories themselves. 
From saucer-eyed spectral dogs to pond-scum haunting child-eating witches - experience the darker side of Britain's folklore in Series 1. Then journey to central and eastern Europe to the world of Slavic folklore, home of Baba Yaga and lurking nature spirits (Series 2). From there, step into the vast world of Nordic Folklore, where creatures abound in the woodlands, mountains and fjords of beautiful northern climes. Look out a series called 'Earth Lore' this autumn/winter to celebrate the natural world and a series on Japanese and Korean folklore next spring.
