Summary
Happy New Years everyone!!! I hope you all had a safe and wonderful Holiday Season! I would like to wish you all an amazing 2023 as I welcome you to our first story for the new year! Tonight’s reading is a Swedish Folktale called The Werewolf. This folktale was obtained from the Swedish Fairy Book, and was published in 1921. This is not a scary story despite the fact that the title may make you think so. This Swedish tale is about a young princess and her devious stepmother. So get all snuggly under the covers...and...let's begin!
Sweet dreamzzz...
