In this episode of Once Upon a Storytime Podcast, we begin The Tale of Little Pig Robinson with a gentle introduction to a quiet seaside town where the story is said to have taken place. We meet Betsy, a fisherman’s wife, and her cat Susan. You get to explore the harbor filled with fishing boats, old sailors, and the smell of seaweed and salt air through the vivid descriptions.
Though we haven’t met Little Pig Robinson yet, Chapter 1 paints a vivid picture of the setting—a quaint coastal village full of character, mystery, and the promise of a tale waiting to be told. With Beatrix Potter’s poetic detail and subtle humor, this chapter invites listeners to settle in for a longer, slower tale that’s part memory, part adventure.
Perfect for listeners who love a richly painted world and stories that unfold like a letter from the past.
