Tales from the Old Forest Podcast

Episode 1: A Poisoned River A new commission by Settle Stories for YFOS 2024 — our very own Book at Bedtime! Join us each night for a new episode of "Tales from the Old Forest" by gifted storyteller Jon Buckeridge. Plentyn lives in the old forest. Not an old forest, the old forest; the oldest of forests, and the point where all forests were born. Together, Plentyn and his grandmother begin a journey into the nature of kindness and how no kind deed is wasted, no matter how small it may seem. Spread across 10 episodes, this all-age adventure will borrow traditional stories from all over the world that demonstrate the nature of Kindness, how the choices we make make us kinder people, and that an act of kindness rarely stops with the recipient but can echo on through the ages.
