This week on River Reads Episode 42- Stranger Danger features one longer tale from the collection The Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang, called, A Voyage to Lilliput.

River Reads is a program where those of all ages can escape into fairy tales and strange stories; both new and old, but mostly old and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s those stories whose premises have perhaps not aged as well over the years. Let’s face it you can’t be too picky when you’re dependent upon free material available to you through creative commons.

River Reads is not a kids show but not not a kids show and may contain content suitable for a mature audience. Listener discretion is advised.

River Reads has won Best Podcast in the Small Market category at 2023 Broadcast Dialogue's Canadian Radio Award. All music is composed and produced by Wilde.

This episode's fairy tales are:

1. A Voyage to Lilliput. The Blue Fairy Book. Andrew Lang. Longmans, Green and Co. 1889. This edition, printed in Great Britain by Cambridge University Press. 2003 Printing.

Remember to Tune in weekly for our Gender Blender segment, where we flip and play with traditional gender roles, reimagining classic fairy tales. Only revealing which tale is our Gender Blender tale at the end of each episode.
