About this audiobook
In a poor attic, a bird in a cage hangs by the window. Its water comes from an old bottle neck, turned upside down and corked. The bottle neck can think but cannot speak, and it remembers when it was a whole bottle at a grand and happy feast.
Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, first published in 1857, follows one small piece of glass through a long and surprising life. Read by Mike Polischuk, in thirty-two minutes.
A quiet tale about what an ordinary thing can still be good for.
