#136 Goblin Silver Balls and Stone

In this episode, Geoff and Katrina have a slappy happy fun time talking about goblins from stories found in The Book of Ghosts and Goblins by Ruth Manning-Sanders. A book that Katrina was able to win by chance in a giveaway by the amazing hosts of Fairy Tale Fix, Abbie and Kelsey. Geoff retells the story of The Three Silver Balls (ATU 311 and ATU 302) where we encounter a mischievous goblin and little girls who can’t follow directions. Count along with us as we find all of the titular silver balls. And then Katrina retells the story of Pappa Greatnose where we meet a group of goblin children who just like to listen to odd advice from the well endowed (nose-wise) goblin elder.
