Introducing: Folk Tales Then and Now

✨  Inspired by a 1954 book of East Midlands folk tales, and slightly disenchanted with real life, this host brings forgotten tales back to life. Each week, a story is retold, the place behind it visited and the myths and legends of counties explored including the stunning Derbyshire Peak District, historic Leicestershire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire (who has probably the most famous folk hero of them all!).  Escape into history, folklore, and the magic of the East Midlands  ✨ Want to find out what we actually uncovered?  See images, videos, location details and links to places and information sources on the blog: www.folktalespodcast.com And if you have a folktale from your own corner of the world, we'd love to hear it — your story could inspire a future episode!     Hi!  Thanks for listening  As a small team your reviews, likes and sharing the love mean the world to us and should you want to hear more and more any little support you also wish to bestow to us on the 'buymeacoffee' platform means we can continue to research, visit and plan more content and explore further afield. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Folktalespodcast
