    The Lang Fairy Tale Project 🧚

    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 – Andrew’s wife Leonora, whose impact on children’s literature and fantasy fiction cannot be understated.

    The Ghosts of Dogtown | A Massachusetts Tale Sep 17, 2026
    Show notes

    For this week's story, we're exploring one of Massachusetts' most atmospheric abandoned places...


    Written by Eleanor, the tale follows a young police detective searching for a missing person in the mysterious and disorientating woodlands of Dogtown Common, as something wants to lead her further and further away from the trailpath.


    Drawing on real legends and history of this fascinating place, it's a straight up ghost adventure - a little early for spooky season, maybe, but it's never too early in our book!

    Massachusetts | Series 8 Episode 2 Sep 14, 2026
    Show notes

    It's already time for us to visit the second of the Thirteen Colonies - Massachusetts!


    We start by discussing the lives of the Wampanoag peoples who inhabited the North Eastern Woodlands prior to the arrival of European settlers, before returning to the small group of religious dissenters who arrived on the Mayflower to make a home in New England.


    Of course, the Salem Witch Trials cast a long shadow, but so too does the bloody legacy of warfare between the colonists and the Native people, including the fascinating, awful history of King Philip's War, leading up to increased dissatisfaction with British rule and the forging of a distinct American identity with acts of protest like the Boston Tea Party.


    We include extracts from Saturday's Local Legends interview with the excellent Jeff Belanger, presenter of the Emmy-nominated New England Legends series, and talk through hauntings, happenings and a whole lot of folklore.


    From the gruesome history of Lizzie Borden to the peculiar Dover Demon and the cursed Hockamock Swamp, there's loads to get our teeth stuck into, not least some delicious Atlantic lobsters...


    We really hope you enjoy it - Massachusetts is a state with amazing history, and we'll put our John Hancock on that!

    For two decades Jon worked as the State Folklorist of Virginia, has a PhD in Folklore from the University of Pennsylvania, and has enjoyed a distinguished career bridging community activism, arts education, and public media.


    In addition to working for many years to document, sustain, and celebrate grassroots cultural traditions in Virginia, in 2002 he launched the state’s highly successful Folklife Apprenticeship Program which supports master artists in passing down essential traditions and aspects of cultural heritage across the state.

    Jon has also produced numerous traditional albums and contributed to documentary films, in addition to which the Centre for Cultural vibrancy facilitates border-free collaborations that bring diverse communities together to explore shared heritage. This includes deep-dive fieldwork, major public events, and the support and celebration of a broad range of traditional artists, from musicians to craftspeople to dancers and beyond.

    The Phantom Lovers of Lake Drummond | A Virginia Tale Sep 10, 2026
    Show notes

    For this week’s story we have a ghostly legend inundated by real histories, “The Phantom Lovers of Lake Drummond.”


    Written by Martin, it’s a dark crater of surging eco-fiction engaging with one of Virginia's most famous folk tales, the early life of George Washington, Harriet Beecher Stowe's much maligned follow-up to Uncle Tom's Cabin, the poetry of Irish folk poet and bard Thomas Moore, the teenaged adventures of Edgar Allan Poe, and more.


    We very much hope its atmospheric gloom and unusual voice proves to be suitably unsettling, and that you enjoy our chat which follows about some of Virginia's most famous ghost stories and recent correspondence we have received from the lovely members of the Conspiracy of Ravens.


    Like you!


    Details in the story were inspired by the poems A Ballad: The Lake of the Dismal Swamp by Thomas Moore and The Lake by Edgar Allan Poe, and the chapter "Canoeing in the Dismal Swamp" from the book Athletics and Manly Sport by John Boyle O'Reilly, published in 1890.

    Virginia | Series 8 Episode 1 Sep 07, 2026
    Show notes

    Hold onto your preconceptions if you must as we, two English people, open a can of worms in our first full episode of Series 8 to discuss Virginia, the 'Mother of States!'


    We begin as colonial America did - in Jamestown - before digging into some of the key differences between life in Virginia in those early days and life in England at the same time, tracking points of comparison forward through into the modern day.


    Enriched by extracts from this Saturday's upcoming Local Legends interview with Jon Lohman, who served as Virginia's State Folklorist for over two decades, we chat through Virginia's fundamentally important role in the global tobacco business, explain why the state was so central to the American Civil War, and talk about some aspects of what life was like in the American Indian Powhatan Confederacy, too.


    As you might expect, we also dig into the state's folklore, discussing some of the myths surrounding Captain John Smith, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington, hang out with some very cool cryptids including The Woodbooger, Mothman, and the Chesapeake Bay Sea Monster, dabble in some conspiracy theories, and much more besides!


    We also tuck into a five course State Dinner in which Martin attempts to honour the diverse range of Virginia's distinct regions and cultures, spend a bit of time with the Great Hare as he creates the world and shows a quartet of giants who's boss, and then, to conclude the episode, we argue the toss as to who we should crown as Virginia's ultimate Folk Hero.


    From John Henry the 'steel driving man' to the complex history of Pocahontas, we hope you find it interesting, surprising, and that it also makes you giggle, which is very much part of the point!

    Dr Gabrielle Tayac | Local Legends #74 Sep 05, 2026
    Show notes

    On this week's episode of Local Legends Eleanor chats with historian, curator, author and activist Dr Gabrielle Tayac.


    We were thrilled Gabrielle spoke to us at the beginning of Series 8, after this week's background episodes on the history of North America. As Associate Professor of Public History at George Mason University and the inaugural curator of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, she has a unique insight into the history of America before colonial expansion.


    She’s a member of the Piscataway Indian Nation, a tribe based in southern Maryland, and is the granddaughter of the late Chief Turkey Tayac, a medicine practitioner involved in early and mid 20th century Native American cultural revitalization movements.


    As a curator, Gabi worked on one of the museum’s first permanent exhibitions, Our Lives: Contemporary Life and Identity, and solo curated Return to a Native Place: Native Peoples of the Chesapeake Region, along with the travelling exhibition IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas.


    She authored the popular My World: Young Native Americans Today series, along with editing and contributing to boatloads of books and journals, and has also been active in global indigenous human rights movements.

    How The Devil Came To America | An Immigrant Story Sep 03, 2026
    Show notes

    For this week’s story we have the tale of a particularly unwelcome immigrant called “How The Devil Came to America.”


    Written by Eleanor, it’s a piece of arcane folk horror that explores the failure of the infamous Roanoke colony, positing a new theory as to why things went wrong for the residents of ‘The City of Raleigh’ in a tale which travels from the private offices of Queen Elizabeth I’s chief spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham across the sea to America’s eastern seaboard.


    For hardcore Three Ravens fans, you may notice connections to some of our other stories within this one, including to our 30-part audio adventure from last summer, Dog Days: A Kit Marlowe Mystery.


    And if you have not listened to Dog Days then don’t worry – this story stands alone on its own two hooves. Though do please check out Dog Days when you have the chance, as it’s a pretty wild ride and was the very first thing we wrote well and truly together.


    Details in the story were inspired by Solving The Mystery of the Lost Colony by Lee Miller and The American Heritage History of the Thirteen Colonies edited in chief by Michael Blow.

    A Brief History of America | Series 8 Episode 0 Aug 31, 2026
    Show notes

    Before we begin our adventures exploring the history and folklore of the Thirteen Colonies of America, we present our first episode of Series 8: A Brief History of America!


    We explore the history of North America from the earliest human migration across the Beringia land bridge, now the Bering Strait.


    Looking at the distinct archaeological stages of American pre-history, we talk through the Lithic, the Archaic, the Formative, the Classic and the Post-Classic phases, and the development of distinct societies and cultures.


    It's a fascinating picture of complex early societies with incredible trade networks like the Hopewell Exchange System, which allowed goods and resources to travel great distances from their place of origin.


    All this came before the first contact with European explorers. Searching for a western route through to India to bypass Ottoman control of eastern trade, sailors made landfall in the Americas almost by accident, yet it ultimately led to wide-scale colonisation.


    We hope it's an interesting listen, whether you are American or otherwise - and the story of how 'America' got its name should at least make you laugh!

    Marion Gibson | Local Legends #73 Aug 29, 2026
    Show notes

    On this week's episode of Local Legends Martin chats with Sunday Times bestselling author Marion Gibson!


    Regular listeners will recall that Marion last came on Three Ravens during October 2025 to chat about her wonderful book Witchcraft: A History in Thirteen Trials, at which time we spoke about Marion’s childhood and career, so we this time we skip all that and jump straight into the 17th century and witch hunt fever!


    This is all inspired by Marion's new book Witchland: A Tale of Witch Hunting and War in Seventeenth-Century Britain as researched in partnership with the brilliant Tabitha Stanmore, author of Cunning Folk: Life in the Era of Practical Magic and Love Spells.


    The book offers readers both a history of the English Civil War and, as a product of months of digging through county archives, never-before-discussed histories of several individual everyday folk accused of witchcraft from Scotland, Newcastle and East Anglia down into Devon and Cornwall.

    The book also draws connections between English witch trials and their later American counterparts, all of which we dig into, along with the folkloric deaths of two of history's most infamous witch hunters/accusers...
