Jason Weiser and Carissa Weiser tell stories from myths, legends, and folklore that have shaped cultures throughout history.

All the stories are sourced from world folklore, but retold for modern ears. These are stories of wizards, knights, Vikings, dragons, princesses, and kings from the time when the world beyond the map was a dangerous and wonderful place.
