Gobbolino is the story I remember most from my childhood. Like, if you don't like this, you may as well just unfriend me now, that is how much I love this story. This version is shortened and adapted from Ursula Moray William's novel, which I only read years later when I was in charge of ordering books for the children's bookshop I worked in before my current job.

Also, I have figured out, I think, how to embed the audio files for these stories; I'll go back and do the old ones over the next little while. I would really, really appreciate you guys letting me know if A) it works, and B) you prefer it with or without audio.

Gobbolino is in four parts.

Back from my holidays and back to posting. Sad ending and Christian-centric, this one. I wasn't going to include it because I thought it was well known, but I guess I'm biased.

I almost didn't include this story. It's always upset me, a little bit. But I promised myself when I started this that I'd do all the stories, barring the ones everyone knows already. So, here it is.

Please note, this story contains a reference to Red Indians. I haven't edited, because I'm trying to keep these stories intact as they were written in the eighties, but be aware it's there.
