Welcome back to Tales From the World’s Firesides. I’m Clive Gilson, The Story Guy, and today we’re heading to Turkey for a tale with that old folk wisdom that lands quietly, then stays with you. Today’s story is The Widow And Her Friend, a reminder that long before we had screens and headlines, people still found ways to tell the truth sideways, through wonder, humour, and the occasional sting.
I’m always out hunting down and preserving older folk and fairy tales that might otherwise slip away, and sharing them as a way of travelling across cultures without ever leaving the firelight. If you’d like to explore my full collections of folklore, from the Arctic to the Caribbean, from the Philippines to Zanzibar, they’re available in print and digital form.
You can find them on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/4kVf92t.
And if you’d like to know more about the storyteller behind the mic, drop by: clivegilson.com.
If today’s tale stirred something in you, do subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, and pass the story along to a friend who’d enjoy it. Thanks for joining me, as ever, by Tales From the World’s Firesides. Until next time, stay well, and keep the stories burning brightly.
