Hans Christian Anderson - The Tin Soldier

Once upon a time, comedians Fiona Ridgewell & Louise Atkinson decided to start a podcast that explores fairy tales, folklore, myths, and legends. But, these aren't the nice, fluffy versions of the stories that everyone knows and loves. They're the original, darker, sordid ones from long ago.

On this episode of the Be Fairy Afraid Podcast, Fiona & Louise look at one of the classic fairy tales written by Hans Christian Anderson - The Tin Soldier, or The Steadfast Tin Soldier, a story about a tin soldier's love for a paper ballerina.

Also, Louise and Fiona discuss erotic pottery and hen parties and Louise attempts to impersonate Fiona's accent, which gets mixed reviews.

Give it a listen and please like & subscribe on YouTube, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, in the words of Giambattista Basile, from his story The Enchanted Doe - shut your mouths, open your ears, and hear what I shall tell you.

Hope you enjoy! :-)
