Hey folks, welcome to Tales From the World’s Firesides. I’m Clive Gilson, and I love taking old legends and half-forgotten folktales, then telling them in a way that still feels warm and alive. Today we’re heading to China for The Story of the Bird Feng, a tale with a bit of magic in its pockets, a few shadows at the edges, and the sort of turn you only get in stories that have travelled a long way.
This version is adapted from Edmund Dulac’s retelling in Edmund Dulac’s Fairy-Book, first published in 1916. If you enjoy it, give the video a like, subscribe, and pass it along to someone who likes their stories with a sprinkle of wonder. And if you want more, you can find my full collections here: https://amzn.to/4kVf92t, or pop over to clivegilson.com and say hi. Right then, get comfy, keep the kettle close, and let’s see what the Bird Feng is really up to.
