The Children of Bradfield Wood

During the reign of King Stephen, two children of strange green hue were discovered near Woolpit in Suffolk, speaking in an unknown tongue and refusing all food save raw beans. The boy died. The girl lived and spoke of a dim country called St Martin's Land. What follows is not a retelling of that story, but an imagined prelude to it. A dark folklore fiction story rooted in one of Britain's most enduring medieval mysteries.If you enjoy Edvane Stories, please follow the podcast — a new dark fiction story every Saturday, and following helps new listeners find the show.Read it at ⁠⁠Edvane Stories⁠⁠Follow Jonathan B.
