Myths and legends for kids

Myths are the oldest stories we have, told to explain the sun, the sea, the stars and why people are the way they are. For curious children they are exciting and full of memorable characters, from clever heroes to proud kings who learn a hard lesson.

Fabeligo retells Greek myths for kids, such as Daedalus and Icarus, Pandora's Box and King Midas and the Golden Touch. Alongside them are legends from around the world, such as The Simurgh of Mount Qaf. This collection is made for ages 6–9, for children who are ready for bigger stories with a little more drama.

Every story is narrated in Swedish, English and Norwegian, with read-along text in seven languages. Fabeligo is free for every family, with no ads and no accounts, and every story can be downloaded to work offline. Put one on for a car ride or a quiet afternoon and ask your child afterwards what they would have done.
