In this episode, the storyteller, Kathy Shimpock, will explore a little known Norwegian folktale, "Tatterhood."  It's a story in which an unexpected, young girl goes on a hero's journey.  She has quite a surprising role to play in a very unusual story. Story:   Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, Lurvehette [Tatterhood], Norske Folkeeventyr (Christiania [Oslo], 1842-1852), translated by George Webb Dasent (1859).   Translation revised by D.
