Welcome to Litsy!

The Magic Fish by Freya Littledale is a folktale that tells a story of a fisherman who catches a fish who claims to be a prince. The fisherman‘s wife becomes greedy and keeps asking for more wishes. The fish grows tired and sodas the fisherman as the story comes to a twist ending. The illustrations used throughout the story truly show the emotions of the characters.

The Magic Fish is a less well-known classic tale. The story of a woman who becomes far too greedy and ends up right back where she was. This story is great to teach about greed and respect. It shows an interesting relationship dynamic that can be used to help teach children. Freya‘s take on this story and it‘s illustrations adds new life to the tale.

“Just go back to the fish. Tell him I want to be queen of the sun and the moon and the stars“
