Welcome to The Apple Seed! Some time filled with stories for you and your family. Since 2013 we’ve been bringing you tall tales, personal tales, fairy tales, historical tales and more. All kinds of tales, from all kinds of tellers.

The world is a big place, and no one knows that better than the heroes in our favorite stories. When duty or adventure calls, heroes are often called to leave the comfort of their homes and the arms of their families to make their way in the world and discover what else is out there. Sometimes our favorite heroes find buried treasure or fight noble and important battles. Other times, they discover that what they truly sought could be found at home all along. Today’s stories feature protagonists that leave their homes to find things they might not have expected.
