Hello super great kids.
I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving if you were celebrating.
I wonder if you told anyone a story this week.
If not why not give it a go.
It's now December the month which brings us Christmas and it's a lovely gift to tell someone a story.
And our live show in the Irish Cultural Centre in London with Toop,
Kate Corkery and me is only about a day away.
Do come along and join in the stories if you can this Saturday December the 7th.
We're making the audio of the show available to all outlets so they can have a listen and join in two later.
And in other exciting news we have a new t-shirt on our website the ghost of the bloody finger t-shirt it's very fun do have a look.
Now since it's December we have a new theme Fairy Tales.
Fairy tales don't always have fairies in them.
No sometimes they have witches.
Yeah witches in fact this week the story has at Yamamba or Mountain Witch from Japan and it's told by the wonderful storyteller Masako Cary.
Now just before we hear from Masako here's a little question for you.
If you were telling your version of a fairy tale which story do you think you'd like to tell would it be a fun one like Stick Woman or a scary one like Baba Yaga and Vasilisa.
