S1E1 - Chapter 1: Through the Garden Gate

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 17:00:00 -0000

A few months ago, a series of (largely house cleaning related) events culminated in my acquisition of a journal written by my great, great aunt when she was a child.

A journal full of stories.

About fairies.

Stories she said were entirely true.

This podcast intends to be about those stories, and the life and times of the little girl that wrote them. To share what she wrote, and hopefully learn a little about her, and my own family history.

Also, Nadia's first fairy, and their story.
