How The Cobbler Cheated The Devil - An English Folktale
Welcome to Tales From the World’s Firesides. I’m Clive Gilson, The Story Guy, and today our journey takes us to England.
As a storyteller I try to find and preserve old folk and fairy tales that might otherwise be forgotten, and as a way of sharing cultures across the world. This story comes from Folk-Lore and Legends: English, a late-Victorian anthology edited by Charles John Tibbits.
Stories like this remind us that people have always found ways to tell stories that touch our hearts, educate us, and fill us full of wonder as much as sorrow.
You can explore my full collections of folklore, from the Arctic to the Caribbean, from the Philippines to Zanzibar, available in print and digital form.
You can even find them on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/49rFvGy
