Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales a story podcast with Emily and Leo. We hope you like lullabys, as weve made another one. The words come from the wonderful poem by W.B.Yeats called Stolen Child. Where dips the rocky highland Of Sleuth Wood in the lake, There lies a leafy island Where flapping herons wake The drowsy water rats; There weve hid our faery vats, Full of berrys And of reddest stolen cherries. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand. Where the wave of moonlight glosses The dim gray sands with light, Far off by furthest Rosses We foot it all the night, Weaving olden dances Mingling hands and mingling glances Till the moon has taken flight; To and fro we leap And chase the frothy bubbles, While the world is full of troubles And anxious in its sleep. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand. Where the wandering water gushes From the hills above Glen-Car, In pools among the rushes That scarce could bathe a star, We seek for slumbering trout And whispering in their ears Give them unquiet dreams; Leaning softly out From ferns that drop their tears Over the young streams. Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand. Away with us hes going, The solemn-eyed: Hell hear no more the lowing Of the calves on the warm hillside Or the kettle on the hob Sing peace into his breast, Or see the brown mice bob Round and round the oatmeal chest. For he comes, the human child, To the waters and the wild With a faery, hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than he can understand. Our story is an old fairytale from Ireland about a changeling. Changelings feature in lots of folklore and you can find out more about them HERE. https://kids.kiddle.co/Changeling#:~:text=A%20changeling%20is%20a%20creature,child%20stolen%20by%20the%20fairies.

Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales a story podcast with Emily and Leo. This episode is brought to you from Zest Fest https://www.otterpoolpark.org/community/events/zest-fest-at-westenhanger-castle/, an exhilarating new festival at Westenhanger Castle near Hythe in Kent, UK We enjoyed everything from daring circus skills and performing arts to exploring how to nourish the mind, body and soul through yoga, breathwork, meditation, music, dance, mindful walks and much more. We love telling stories to live audiences; theres nothing like the sparkling, rippling energy of interaction between people. And festivals are a great place for storytelling and magic making. With lots of things happening at the same time, you can hear music and singing in the background of our story session. We hope it doesnt distract too much - most people in the word tent didnt seem to notice. Thats the sign of a good story!

May day is a really lovely time of year – we celebrate the beginning of summer, which in the Celtic wheel is called Bealtaine.

Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales a story podcast with Emily and Leo. We are so grateful to you folks for hanging on in there while we got ourselves better. Its been icy cold here in London, but things are looking greener and we could be heading off on holiday soon! This episode we welcome another winner of the Otterpool Park Storywriting competition. Jasmine is 12 and she is from Cambridgeshire. We absolutely love her story and her telling. Well done, Jasmine! You can find out more about Westenhanger Castle and the new town project near Folkestone HERE https://www.otterpoolpark.org. Our story is a very old Mayan story about a dwarf king. The Mayans were an ancient civilisation from what’s now Mexico and Central America. They lived in huge cities, had great stone pyramids and believed in lots of different gods. They also came up with their own calendars – they were really good at maths and astronomy. And there are people in Central America today who live like the ancient Mayans and eat the same sort of food - maize. You can discover more about Mayan Civilisation HERE https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/history/mayans/. AND, its always good to embrace our differences with love.

Hello and welcome to Dragonfly Tales a story podcast with Emily and Leo. And We have a very special treat for our listeners this episode. Emily was fortunate enough to be asked to judge a story-writing competition based around the mysterious WESTENHANGER CASTLE https://www.otterpoolpark.org/places-and-spaces/westenhanger-castle/, believed to be owned by Henry VIII. There’s a possibly a new garden town being built nearby called OTTERPOOL PARK https://www.otterpoolpark.org/ and they ran the storywriting competition. The entrants were between the ages of 7 and 14 years old and the winners were given prizes, including doing a story workshop with Emily! From over 40 entries, the judges chose 3 winners. We will be featuring all three stories on the podcast. And we have one of the winners for this episode. Her name is Clementine and she is 10 years old. Our story is a chain tale from the Punjab. There are lots and lots of parts to this story. Can you remember them all and the order they come in?

Hello and each episode we will tell you a story from around the world and share some fun and silly things with you. We’d like to thank our listeners for their patience – we’re always sorry when we have to postpone an episode but we all get sick sometimes. COMING UP THIS SEASON ON DRAGONFLY TALES: - WE WILL BE JOINED BY SOME AMAZING GUEST TELLERS - WE’LL HAVE A CHRISTMAS COMPETITION FOR OUR LISTENERS - WE ALSO HAVE A NEW INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT @DRAGONFLYTALESPOD WHERE WE WILL BE SHOWING YOUR ART WORK, CLIPS AND VIDEOS AND HINTS TO COMING STORIES. OUR story comes from a collection of stories from the Southern states of America. And features a very tricky character who loves getting up to mischief. Brer Rabbit. These stories were carried over the ocean by African slaves, and although we might now feel a bit uncomfortable with the voice of Uncle Remus (stories told through a white mans lens) these animal stories are fantastic and need to be celebrated in their own right! If you want to talk more about this important idea, then please please share your thoughts with us. emilydragonflytales@gmail.com If you would like to tell a tale or get a SHOUT OUT this season, then you can get in touch with us HERE https://dragonflytales.uk/contact or in our DRAGONFLY TALES PODCAST GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/247464469764301/?source_id=264230377008671, telling us your first name, your age and your town.

Welcome to Season 4 of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children (and grown ups) of all ages. It’s our Halloween Special!!!!!! Wooooooo! And we have some treats in store for you – or are they tricks? As with our previous Halloween shows, Leo is going to tell a story that’s not too scary. And I’ll tell one that is a bit more scary We also thought we would tickle your funny bone with some spooky Halloween jokes from our listeners! Huge thanks to Marcus Zoe, George, Sharon, Mila, Tom, Will and Jakey!! Leos story is a ghost story from England. You can find this story and lots more like it in this excellent book by Margaret Read MacDonald 'WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT! https://www.amazon.co.uk/When-Lights-Go-Out-Twenty/dp/082420770X' Emilys story is from Norway. And many people believe the story is true. There is a lake in Norway called Whale lake Because in this lake have been discovered the huge bones of what was once a mighty whale that terrorized the fjords and seas around Norway and greenland Hundreds of years ago, sailors would hunt wales for their blubber. They would melt the blubber down into oil that was then used for street lights, cosmetics and explosives. Whale hunting was incredibly dangerous and there are lots of songs about about it – as sailors would spend very long times at sea, making up stories, singing songs and crafting. You can find out more about it HERE https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museum-london-docklands/permanent-galleries/trade-expansion.
