Katie Woodencloak ( Norwegian Cinderella )
Dave Morris reads the Norwegian Cinderella tale ' Katie Woodencloak'
Today you will be hearing Norways variation of the Cinderella tale. Katie Woodencloak.
Katie Woodencloak was originally an oral folk tale that eventually Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe published in their book of fairy tales called ‘ Norwegian folk tales ' in 1842.
But it wasn’t until 1890 when Andrew Lang added the story to the second book in his collection of Fairy tales called the Red Fairy book, that Katie Woodencloak reached a larger audience.
Reading the tale is Dave Morris.
