Lost stories - The Tailor's Tale

About this episode

This episode features an old Yiddish tale about a tailor who learns to create something new from something old.

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 an old Yiddish tale about a tailor who finds that, with a little ingenuity and hard work, he can make something new from something old. We got lots of inspiration from Helen East's version of this tale. You can find her version in an excellent book called The Singing Story Cloth! Remember to join us over on Patreon.
