Every evening a deep, mysterious bell is heard over the town. Some say it rings from the forest, some from the sea. Nobody knows where it hangs. People set out in crowds to find it, but most turn back. Hans Christian Andersen's story of a sound that calls to the hopeful, and of a king's son and a poor boy who go to look for its source. Read by Ian Michael Turrell, in thirteen minutes. Quiet, short and good read aloud.
