This site is dedicated to offering seasonal nature stories together with an extensive bibliography for any storyteller, teacher, or general reader who is seeking stories and legends about animals, plants, and the land itself.

The stories are available for retellings. However, any audio or video presentation, or publication, must have the written permission of the author.

"Stories for the Seasons" is sponsored by The Nature In Legend and Story Society (NILAS) and H-Net, Humanities and Social Sciences On-Line.
