This CD, at first glance, is a beautifully performed collection of world folktales by Traditional Storyteller, Zette Harbour. Give a second, third, and more, listen, and you find yourself discovering a deeper resonance and meaning in each tale. On the surface, yes, they are tales about gratitude, honoring promises, being fair, and more. Deeper down, though, we are given a glimpse of some of life's greatest teachers - longing, loss, triumph and surprise.

Children and grown-ups alike, find themselves drawn to hear these tales over and over, and, at the end of the CD, calling out for more.

Stories travel the world and we can enjoy them when they visit our corner of it. Meet Anansi, the half-spider, half-man who covets the stories of the sky god. Visit the British Isles and learn a thing or two. A poignant tale from Japan speaks to us all about the importance of kindness and promises. From the deep reaches of the ancient city of Jerusalem, learn the meaning of poverty and of wisdom. Finally, test your cleverness against the innkeeper's daughter.??
