  • The Three Little Men in the Woods

    The Three Little Men in the Woods
    Mar 21 2021

    Belching up toads, paper dresses, beheadings and murder, this story has them all. I love this Grimm fairytale from the Philip Pullman collection, and I hope you do too?

    This is the last episode in Season Three, so please write me a review and remember, storytelling is thirsty work!

What a great discovery! The stories are not so dark as I thought, but Julia Norton is a master storyteller and her accompanying singing is exquisite. Would love to hear her on audio books.

Wonderfully Entertaining

Natural story teller, not just a narrator.
I'm binging hours of episodes at a time, I love it and only wish there was an option to skip the podcast related talk that's tacked onto the beginning and end of sone stories so it's a seamless transition between between episodes (music, story, music, story, etc.) The intro song is great, might be nice if she rotated through a couple songs for variety, but again, only a minor annoyance for those binging entire seasons.

Excellent story teller
