Folk Tales for Kids

Explore our curated collection of traditional folk tales for kids from Wales, Ireland, Scotland and around the world. We’ve retold these classic tales in clear, modern English and organised them by age and reading time to make storytime simple.

Whether you want a short tale before bed or a longer read-aloud for classroom or homeschool, you can choose a story that fits your time. Many of our folk tales also include narrated audio, which supports listening skills and independent reading.
