Tales From the World’s Firesides is a storytelling project that collects, adapts, and publishes folktales, fairy tales, myths, and legends from around the world. Each story is carefully attributed to its original source or collector where known, with notes on country or cultural lineage when it can be traced. The project spans print, ebook, and narrated formats, building a growing library of regional collections designed for readers who want old stories told plainly, respectfully, and with the warmth of a fireside voice.

​

Since the Fireside Tales project's inception, writer Clive L Gilson has worked as the Managing Editor for the project, and over the past few years, the project has released series and individual country focused collections from around the world, bringing together stories by region and tradition, and presenting them in clear modern UK English while keeping a close eye on place, context, and provenance. If you’d like to browse by country, theme, or collection, you’re welcome to explore the library and find new story paths to follow.
