Italian fairy tales take us into a wonderful world of fantasy. They tell of clever poor people and foolish kings, beautiful proud girls and capricious princesses, wicked witches and ugly dwarfs, wandering soldiers who can outwit even the Devil himself, and vain princes.
Each fairy tale teaches its listener something.
A wonderful audio production of “Melodies” will delight both children and adults. Flawless sound quality, great actors, and intriguing plots in each of the tales.
