This week on Fairy Tale Fix, the horrors persist but so do we! Because we have to. Kelsey follows up on her promise to deliver some Chinese dragons in The Four Dragons, and then reads a short, truly WTF Chinese fairy tale The Magic Cask. Abbie reads a beautiful Russian […]
Happy Lunar New Year! Abbie celebrates the onset of the Year of the Horse (her people!) with telling the tale of how the Chinese Zodiac came to be in the first place, followed up with a timeless horse trope here on Fairy Tale Fix with The Girl With The Horse’s […]
We’re back from our winter break to start off 2026 with a couple of fairy tales our wonderful listeners suggested!

Abbie continues our dive into Little Red Riding Hood by reading the Algerian version called Rova. You won’t find this tale in English anywhere else (probably)! Kelsey says goodbye to spooky Halloween with the Russian tale The Dead Mother and takes a sharp turn into a happily ever after with […]
