About this audiobook
In the Odense river in Denmark there is a deep place called the Bell-Deep, where a water spirit lives alone and an old church bell has come to rest. Long ago the bell broke loose from the tower of St. Alban's and fell into the water. Now it tells the spirit stories, year after year, tales of old times: a young monk in the tower, a nun in her convent across the water, and a servant singing a dark song.
Hans Christian Andersen's story is read by Monica Shome. It is a mix of local legend, ghost story and quiet sadness, set in his own home town. Eleven minutes.
For listeners who like folk tales with a shadow in them.
