The Old Woman and Her Pig
posted in folktales, Stories of Old, children's literature, youth services, storytelling |
This is a retelling of an old, old English folktale about an old woman whose pig simply will not cooperate. As the tale progresses, she tries to enlist the help of many beings and/or things, the tale adds on to itself in good old cumulative tale fashion. This chain tale retelling is an adaptation of the version recorded by Joseph Jacobs.
