About this episode

This episode revisits a lost story from Cuba, highlighting its rich cultural blend and making it a perfect bedtime listen.

Hey story lovers! While you’re waiting for the next new story, we’ve decided to look back into the archives at some stories that got a bit lost for a while. Every other week, we will be giving these episodes a spot light and calling them 'the lost stories'. Our story is from the island of Cuba. Cuban folktales are full of different flavours - just like Cuban food. There are lots of different cultures mixing together in Cuba - Spanish, African and Caribbean. And this episode is a lovely bed time listen. Remember to join us over on Patreon. You also get early access, bonus content, videos and birthday shout outs!! So hop on over and help to support us.
