The One Handed Girl: A Swahili Fairytale
[Content Warning: violent imagery, family violence, violence against women, physical abuse.] Parents please read disclaimer below.
Tonight's episode is an ancient Swahili Fairytale called The One-Handed-Girl. This tale originated in South Eastern African and was later collected in 1910 by Andrew Lang in his Lilac Fairy Book. This story is about a courageous young woman who faces many challenges because of her turbulent relationship with her brother. She overcomes her struggles with courage, creativity and kindness. Please note that the story mentions slaves, as servitude and slavery were common in South Eastern Africa in ancient times.
DISCLAIMER FOR PARENTS: Because this story has violent imagery, I feel it is not suitable for young children. My advice is to listen to the story first to decide whether you should allow your child to listen.
