Stories Harriet Tells
Harriet tells myths and folktales from the northern European oral tradition. She is an expert in Norwegian and other Scandinavian folktales and is fond of the grimmer Grimm stories. She crafts her stories with a deep understanding of traditon as well as respect for the mythic roots, humor and and wisdom found in these tales.
A real glow-in-the-dark kid
Some kids are raised by wolves, others by scientists. Harriet crafts her personal stories around her childhood experiences growing up in a "real gated community," a small Northern New Mexico town where this nation's top secret weapons were -- and still are -- designed. These are tales of normal kids in an abnormal setting -- hilarity and shenanigans ensue.
Quite a Saga
Now you can hear the stories that the Norsemen told around their campfires as they went viking and terrified the world.
Harriet tells the whole tale of a cursed ring, a sword that is a gift, brave women and the warriors they love, a dragon and his treasure and eternal love born in a ring of fire.
