Fairy Tales of the Fiercer Sex

This is a digital download.

Selected and narrated by Alison Larkin, these are not tales of helpless females shut up in high towers who wait around for a handsome Prince to rescue them. 

These are tales of strong, independent, brave, at times irreverent girls and women who take charge of their own destinies, often battling evil and convention to rescue themselves and others.

From Gerda in The Snow Queen to the less well known Mollie Whuppie and the Double-faced Giant, many of the heroines in these stories have been a part of folklore for hundreds of years. 

Selected and read by Alison Larkin. 

Title music by Gary Schriener and Curt Sobel.
