One last (or first) tradition this holiday season at The Folktale Project - the most popular story of 2024. This past year was certainly a hard one for some and I do hope that next year is better than the last for all of us.
Today is my very favorite tradition - the annual reading of A Visit from St. Nicholas. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. To get more full stories and early access to all of the Folktale Project subscribe on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/folktaleproject!
A new story this week from English Fairy Tales - a collection we know quite well! 'Jack Hannaford' is a tale of two fools (a husband and a wife) and an old soldier out to fool them.

I know that I promised new stories (and that this one is a day later than normal) but today is Halloween and that means we had to adjust our schedule to release the annual telling of our favorite Irish Halloween tale - Stingy Jack. Image © National Museum of Ireland
