A to Z Blogging Challenge: 2024

 


I've seen other bloggers participate in this event and thought it seemed like a pretty good rite of passage for a newbie.

My inaugural theme is International Folktales.

I'm going to go through the countries of the world and share their folktales. However, I'm limiting myself to stories available in English.

  4. Welcome to the challenge!
    Well, it is a fantastic rite of passage. I took part the first time in 2015, when by blog was still green, and I learned so so much by participating and meeting other bloggers.
    I'm sure you'll have a blast! :-)
