Episode 25: “The Marvelous Minstrel”http://aletheakontis.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/minstrel.mp3 The Marvelous Minstrel…or perhaps the PSYCHOPATH MINSTREL, because seriously…this guy is a jerk. The ASPCA would *not* approve. And, quite frankly, neither do I. Check out Princess Alethea’s Rant about this fairy tale HERE.

Episode 24: “The Companionship of the Cat and The Mouse” http://aletheakontis.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Companionship-of-the-Cat-Mouse.mp3   A fairy tale in which…well…cats will be cats and mice will be mice, and that’s just the way of the world.

Episode 23: “The Foundling” This fairy tale (also known as “Fundevogel”) is the basis for the origin of Trix Woodcutter’s character in Enchanted [www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Alethea-Kontis/dp/0547645708/ref=wwwaletheakon-20].

Episode 22: “Tom Thumb” (13:47) Here’s a treat after last week — the infamous tale of tiny hero Tom Thumb. This tale is his origin story and only some of his adventures — the tale is continued in “Tom Thumb’s Travels,” which is a separate piece. I had a lot of fun with the voices on this one. Enjoy!

Episode 21: “The Golden Key” (1:16) This should hardly qualify as an episode of the podcast, as the tale of The Golden Key is little over a minute long. The tale itself is just as disappointing…with sort of a “Lady and the Tiger” ending. It makes me wonder why the Grimm Brothers would have included it in their folk tales at all. Any boy who finds a key — golden or otherwise — and a box is going to try and open the box. Right??
