I'm continuing my "following folktales around the world" blog series with a spinoff: reading folktale collections from Hungarian Roma traditional storytellers.

Slightly Scary Story Special: This is another ‘just the stories’ episode, for All Hallows Eve. There are three traditional tales which are just a little bit scary but also a little bit clever and maybe also just a little bit silly in the case of the last tale. I hope you enjoy these tales even if you prefer yours a bit more bone chilling normally. https://hestiaskitchen.co.uk/2023/10/24/slightly-scary-story-special/
