Stories for kids and young at heart — The Imagination Cottage

Stories

These stories have been told many times in many different ways. Some of them are hundreds of years old! For this reason the stories change over the years from all the different storytellers. If you find a book based one of these stories I encourage you to pick it up to see how that storyteller has changed it to their liking. If you like a particular story, why not write your own version and tell it to a friend? They belong to all of us and by retelling these stories you are keeping them alive.

Be sure to check in often as new stories will be updated on a monthly basis!
