A day in the life of a young otter:



Susan, the daughter of a missing captain, lives as an exile among the riverside reeds for years in her father's absence, a feral child raised by the riverside fauna. One autumn day, the gulls bring tidings of the girl's father, having landed all the way from Persia... Or is he another captain? Her swan friends hasten to meet the stranger to verify if the tall, dashing captain James is Susan's missing father...
(Part I of this two-part story is needless, since it describes Susan's mother's death and her father's departure in a quite Dickensian way that moves me to tears, aside from giving a description of the setting. So I just uploaded Part II, which I listen to as a stand-alone story, and which can be listened to as a stand-alone)



A modern story retold in an Andersenian way, with a snake for a white knight and a rose for a lady fair:



A favourite Norse myth in which Frost Giants steal Thor's hammer and will only hand it over in exchange for Freya's hand. Loki the trickster has an idea... resorting to crossdressing! And thus, comedy ensues...
