Magic Pisspot

This tale was first published in 1844 as Svenska folksagor och äventyr (Swedish Folk-tales and Adventures). I met it at the Ljungby Storytelling Festival in Sweden, centred on the wonderful Ljungby storytelling museum.

I was told the tale by the museum director, Meg Nömgård, and then read it in a German translation of a book by local storyteller and author Per Gustavsson’s, Der verzauberte Pisspott. And in 2017 I was delighted to have the privilege of translating the complete book as The Magic Pisspot: Swedish Folk Tales.

This recording was my first telling of the story, at the Brüder Grimm Märchenfestspiele in Hanau.
