Once, Upon A Handkerchief

As I change the format of this podcast, I will be sharing original stories, and classic tales and rhymes. This will be a children's show for all ages.

Once Upon A Handkerchief is a story which grew from the title sentence all by itself like a flower. Imagine a handkerchief with an embroidered butterfly, sitting covered in dust in an antique shop. Almost lost, almost hidden, it's waiting for someone to come along and find it.

The story was written for Elizabeth Peterson, a friend of mine. Another version, told in the first person, appeared on Story Story Podcast 17th February, 2021 episode.
