In our festive episode we read a story by Chief Jester Rosie Beech.
We follow Eunice into the forest to play a strange game with stranger team mates. You have to keep your wits about you when you encounter living folklore!

In this episode we read two collections of poetry. The first, by Vasiliki Petroudi, examines folklore and literature through a new lens. The second, by Birgit Itse, takes life observations and spins them into funny ditties!
