Hello everyone! This week we finish the classic tale of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, a short story written in 1820 by Washington Irving. This is a story that lots of us have probabaly never directly read for ourselves but that we would all recognize references to. (Most people have heard of the Headless Horseman at some point in time!)

If you didn`t listen to last week`s episode yet I recommend you start with that one, and this one will make more sense.

You can find a PDF version of this story here:

Merry Christmas friends!

I have put together a small Christmas episode for today. There are three poems with stories of Christmas traditions from different parts of the world!

The Yule Cat - by Johannes Kotlam, is a popular story from Icelandic folklore.

The Christmas Spider - I have chosen a version written by Stephanie Herbek. This story is popular in Eastern European and Ukrainian folklore.

The Christmas Tomten - by Viktor Rydberg, is a popular story from Finland and Sweden.

I encourage you to look each of them up and follow along!

Next week we will not have an episode, to take a small break for Christmas. Have a wonderful holiday!
