World Tales of Wisdom and Wonder

Audiobook

Wisdom and wonder, the themes of Heather Forest's third audio recording for August House, are things that our culture actively seeks. FX studios spend millions creating fantasies that many choose to sit still for again and again. Publishers take great delight in springing upon us little books that promise to teach us all of life's really important lessons. And then there's Heather Forest. By illuminating tales of old with her delicate troubadour style, she makes old truths new again, bringing her listeners back into the place where truths have no fashion, where the underlying values of stories resonate because we recognize them for what they are—true, timeless, and unforced. These stories come from many cultures: Zen and Sufi ("Giving the Moon" and "Feeding His Clothes"); France ("Drakestail"); Brazil ("Paca and the Beetle"); the Congo ("The Blue and Red Coat")’ and India ("The Tiger, the Braham, and the Jackal").
