    The Three Ravens Podcast

    Three Ravens is a completely independent English myth and folklore podcast where we share stories, celebrate folk culture, and fall backwards through the hedgerows of history.

    Hosted by real-life couple Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, and mostly recorded at our home in rural Sussex in southern England, Three Ravens is rated 4.8/5 from over 500 reviews and has grown by word of mouth care of our lovely listener community โ€˜The Conspiracy of Ravens.โ€™

    We release three episodes a week, on Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays, through which we explore folktales, folkways, fairy stories, folk songs, mythology, local heritage, seasonal customs and traditional beliefs.

    Our research inspires our retellings of stories from across history and culture, with episodes standing alone but connected together across over 500 chatty, mostly light-hearted, swear-free installments driven by passion, kindness and curiosity.

    Now ranked as an all-time Top 5 podcast across several categories by Goodpods, charting in the Spotify, Apple and Rephonic UK Fiction Top 10 across 2024, 2025 and 2026, if youโ€™re interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen inโ€ฆ

    The Lang Fairy Tale Project ๐Ÿงš

    Launched in 2025 to help us bridge gaps between main series, we began by sharing readings from us of the iconic stories found in the Blue Fairy Book compiled by Andrew Lang.

    From the Red Fairy Book onwards, we have also spent time digging into the stories, their histories and relationships to tale types, and are engaged in an ongoing mission to celebrate the woman truly behind the 12 coloured fairy books โ€“ Andrewโ€™s wife Leonora, whose impact on childrenโ€™s literature and fantasy fiction cannot be understated.

    Little Thumb | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 24, 2025
    Show notes

    People know him by many names, but, according to Nora Lang, he was called Little Thumb - and he was a clever chap!


    Settle in for a legend of terrible parents (though a more sympathetic mother) along with an Ogre, his wife, and his daughters, and the anticipated consumption of human flesh...


    If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.


    Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.


    They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.


    Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over ยฃ4,000 ($5,000+).


    Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.


    Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.


    The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.

    The Master Cat; or 'Puss in Boots' and The History of Whittington | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 21, 2025
    Show notes

    We present a double-bill of Lang Fairy Tales - both pretty cat-focused.


    The Master Cat; or Puss in Boots introduces us to a frankly psychopathic, murderous, criminal mastermind of a feline, before The History of Whittington is much more about swapping cats for more valuable things, domestic violence, and the apparent honesty of English merchants.

    If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.

    Beauty And The Beast | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 19, 2025

    The Shadwell Shams | Secrets of the Thames Part 2 Jul 16, 2025
    Show notes

    As promised, here is the second of our two-part double-bill of special episodes made with the help and support of London Museum Docklands, all about the new 'Secrets of the Thames' exhibition.


    Today, with the basics now under our hats, we plunge below the waterline and scavenge away at some of what we know about the history of London, care of the city's community of Mudlarks.


    We chew over almost 10,000 years of life in England's capital - from back when it was just an upstart town to its period of Victorian and Edwardian dominance.


    Elsewhere, we have the second half of Martin's chat with the Secrets of the Thames exhibition curator Kate Sumnall, talk about the prehistoric origins of Celtic artifacts like The Waterloo Helmet, and Eleanor interviews long-time Three Ravens listener Peter Wollweber, who just so happens to be a Mudlark!


    After that, as you might expect, it's story time once more.


    And it's Eleanor's turn today with her elegiac telling of lives of fraud, love, and time spent on the foreshore, "The Shadwell Shams."

    The Wonderful Sheep | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 14, 2025
    Show notes

    We're starting this week strong, with a Lang Fairy Tale called The Wonderful Sheep which starts out like King Lear, and then, all of a sudden, a woman falls in love with a sheep.

    Be assured - it all stays perfectly PG-rated. But then that ending... crikey!


    If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.


    Assembled and published in 12 colour-coded "Fairy Books," the corpus the Langs put together included 798 fairy tales from across cultures, many of which had never before been translated into English.


    They were amongst the most influential books of their time, changing the course of children's literature - although they're hardly just for children, and often deal with quite challenging concepts.


    Today, purchasing a complete set of the Lang Fairy Books in good condition costs over ยฃ4,000 ($5,000+).


    Thankfully, the collections are all out of copyright, meaning that we can now tell these stories, in podcast form, many for the first time, and share them with a global audience, for free.


    Our plan is to release the stories between main series of Three Ravens, performing them straight (though with plenty of silly voices) letting the tales speak for themselves in all their madcap, sharp-edged, often quite bizarre glory.


    The only edits we have made are to amend some culturally-insensitive epithets, which typically pertain to ethnicity, with any such edits made by Eleanor Conlon.


    About Three Ravens ๐Ÿ”ฎ


    Three Ravens is a completely independent English myth and folklore podcast where we share stories, celebrate folk culture, and fall backwards through the hedgerows of history.


    Hosted by real-life couple Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux, and mostly recorded at our home in rural Sussex in southern England, Three Ravens is rated 4.8/5 from over 500 reviews and has grown by word of mouth care of our lovely listener community โ€˜The Conspiracy of Ravens.โ€™


    We release three episodes a week, on Mondays, Thursday and Saturdays, through which we explore folktales, folkways, fairy stories, folk songs, mythology, local heritage, seasonal customs and traditional beliefs.


    Our research inspires our retellings of stories from across history and culture, with episodes standing alone but connected together across over 500 chatty, mostly light-hearted, swear-free installments driven by passion, kindness and curiosity.


    Now ranked as an all-time Top 5 podcast across several categories by Goodpods, charting in the Spotify, Apple and Rephonic UK Fiction Top 10 across 2024, 2025 and 2026, if youโ€™re interested in ghosts, monsters, regional beliefs, and the things that unite us all, then join us round the campfire and listen inโ€ฆ

    Aladdin And The Wonderful Lamp | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 12, 2025
    Show notes

    Feel that sizzling summer heat? Well, it might just be blowing off today's Lang Fairy Tale, Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.


    In this telling, there are two evil sorcerers out to undo Aladdin in this telling. Plus he's a Peeping Tom who seems to get his mother to do everything for him.


    And what's all the madness about diamond-encrusted windows?!?

    The Water-Lily And The Gold Spinners | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 10, 2025
    Show notes

    Our Lang Fairy Tale for this episode is The Water-Lily and the Gold Spinners, which is a story about a prince who transforms himself into a crab, three cursed princesses, and a wicked witch whose love of cake proves her undoing...


    Also featuring that apparently famous hero 'The Wizard of Finland.' Whoever he is!

    The White Cat | The Lang Fairy Tales: The Blue Fairy Book (1889) Jul 07, 2025
    Show notes

    Today's Lang Fairy Tale telling is The White Cat - a fairly twisted little story about a Prince falling in love with a feline, a Dad who doesn't want to give his sons their dues, and little tiny things of great value, hidden in other tiny things.


    Such as ring-sized dancing dogs that go, "Bow-wow."


    If you are unfamiliar with the Lang Fairy Tales, these seminal collections were assembled between 1889 and 1913 by a married couple, folklorists and translators Nora and Andrew Lang, with most of the work done to compile them completed by Nora, also known as Leonora Blanche Alleyne.
