Stone Soup

A Modern Folktale in the Old Way

Once upon a time, people gathered to share stories, meals, and words rich with meaning. This tale invites you back to that tradition.

In the Victorian era, daily conversation was rich with expressive, eloquent language. Today, while we may recognize 40,000 words, research shows we use only 1,000 to 3,000 in everyday speech. When we lose words, we lose awareness. These stories aim to restore the joy of expressive language.
