Looking for a magical tale

Recommended Posts

I'm going to be doing some storytelling at events this year, mostly for children.

I'm looking for some stories that:

Involve the natural world - forests, trees, animals

Can have magical elements - especially faeries and boggarts and such that inhabit the outdoors

Will captivate listeners

 

Any help gratefully appreciated!

 

Thanks

Peter & the Wolf is a good one as it is set to music, it used to captivate me and spark my imagination when I was a kid.

Ever read "Stardust" by Neil Gaiman?

Thank you, thank you.

Both lovely ideas. And Nomme, thanks for reminding me of the Green Man site.

 

Any more ideas for slightly shorter stories as well?

Did my story - Mikku and the Trees.

Made all sorts of little props, as well.

The story went down well, and a couple of people assumed I was a professional.

Hmm....a new career? :D
