Violet Collection: Modern Fables and Folk Tales from Waffle-Free Storytelling Paperback – October 23, 2020
Purchase options and add-ons
Welcome to Waffle-Free Storytelling!
The Violet Collection is the first in the series of books from the Waffle-Free Storytelling Podcast.
The podcast might be famous for being waffle-free, but there's life between the stories in the books. So, as well as a recipe or two and storytelling games that'll keep your friends and family entertained no matter how random the weather, here are some of the stories in this first collection:
- The Day the Sun Stopped Playing Ball
- The Curse of Hope
- The Narrow Escape
- Bury Clara
- This Dog Bites
- The Other Side of Earth's Story
- Dimini
And more!
These stories are a mix of fables, folk-style folktales, origin stories, and modern myths, all written and told by yours truly (Tina Konstant). They're wonderful to sit quietly and read and doubly wonderful to enjoy around a fireside or at bedtime.
Although the podcast and, therefore, the books weren't originally intended for young kids (I don't shy away from the afterlife, for instance), I've had parents of young children tell me their kids have loved them. So... adult discretion is advised in some cases.
The stories in this collection, in true fairy tale style, explore what it is to be human, to handle the problems of life, to be victorious, to face challenges, and to be a whole person on planet Earth.
The tales range from origin stories that start at the dawn of time to relationship and coming-of-age tales.
Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini-adventures, headphones become front-row seats, and life unravels, one tale at a time.
I'll see you inside,
Tina
