Acerca de esta escucha
Actor William Hurt reads this story of a small Japanese boy whose only interest is drawing pictures of cats, even while everyone else in the village is struggling to defeat a mysterious demon that plagues the countryside. Although first seen as entirely useless, it is the boy's peculiar talent that ultimately restores prosperity to the land. This haunting and enchanting folktale about finding your place in the world resonates with deep respect for and appreciation of the Japanese culture.

Hidden deep in the blue forest of Norway, there live a peasant farmer and his family. In a fierce storm, a mysterious white bear arrives with a strange proposal to make them rich if their youngest daughter will go to live with him in his golden cavern.

"I give you assurances," cried the Tiger to the Brahmin. "I shan't eat you if you let me out of the cage." But when the Brahmin makes the mistake of taking the Tiger at his word, he discovers that the dishonest beast intended to eat him all along. In the end, it is the wily jackal who comes to the Brahmin's aid and teaches him a lesson he had never found in his holy books. This clever, absorbing adaptation, written by Brian Gleeson, is read by Ben Kingsley.

Long ago in Russia, a proclamation went out through all the land that whosoever could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar's daughter. But when a country bumpkin and his oddball crew of extraordinary friends show up to claim her, the Tsar quickly has second thoughts. Robin Williams is hilarious as he narrates this retelling of a fantastical Russian folktale.

Here are two hilarious Jamaican folktales about the original story spinner himself, both read by Denzel Washington. Anansi the spider is teeny-teeny, but his boasts are as tall as tales get. In the first story, Anansi takes Tiger's challenge and outwits the prideful snake to win possession of all the stories in the jungle. In the second story, Anansi devises a scheme to appear important at his mother-in-law's funeral but gets caught in his own lies and winds up as bald as a mango.

One of my favorites as a kid
In the late 90’s and early 00’s I used to fall asleep to Rabbit Ears stories on CD. So happy to have found them all on audible so that I can play them for my kids now. Brings back happy memories. The production is truly incredible, just the pinnacle. The music is lovely to listen to as well.
I find this one especially soothing.
Upon revisiting this story I have to wonder if the boy who drew cats is maybe neurodivergent. He is described as bright and clever, struggles to do mundane tasks such as gathering food and copying scrolls, but seems involuntarily hyper focused on his special interest, even when it is not socially acceptable. This proves to be his superpower in the end. I love this story from that perspective.

Certainly a gold standard for tale-telling...
This is a gorgeous, gentle version of an amazing story. William Hurt's non assuming narration along with the usual dead-on professionalism of the Rabbit Ears series make this 100% gold.

Haunting
I first checked this story out of the library in Houston on CD back in the 1990s. It has haunted me ever since. Such an unusual and mysterious tale, and the narration is perfect. Well worth the price.
