About this audiobook

It is winter. The snow lies deep, and the wind is sharp as a sword. Inside, someone is telling a story. At midnight, on a hero's grave by the sea, a dead king's spirit mourns because no one ever sang of his deeds. A singer from a passing ship sings them. Then a small bird rises from the harp and flies away over the land. Hans Christian Andersen's short tale of the Bird of Popular Song, who sings of heroes and of love and never dies. Read by Jerry Dugan. Eleven minutes, best heard on a cold night.
