The Juniper Tree

"The Juniper Tree" is one of the darkest fairy tales the Brothers Grimm ever recorded, following a young boy whose cruel stepmother kills him, dismembers his body, and feeds him to his unknowing father. His devoted little sister Marleen buries his bones beneath the magical juniper tree, from which he is reborn as a singing bird. The boy-bird haunts three craftsmen with his mournful song, collecting gifts to deliver justice — and his story builds to an explosive, supernatural confrontation at the family home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
