The Folktale Project - The Story of a Mother

The Folktale Project ·

2025/05/23

I apologize in advance that this is perhaps the saddest story that I've ever told on The Folktale Project. Han Christian Andersen's 'The Story of a Mother' begins sadly and ends sadly with a bit of melancholy in the middle. Trigger warning - the story begins with the death of a child.
