About this audiobook
In the green valley of Treasure Valley live two greedy brothers, Hans and Schwartz, and their gentle youngest brother, Gluck. The brothers are cruel to him. Then a strange little man in a golden mask, the South West Wind, comes to visit, and a mountain stream called the Golden River is soon at the center of a dangerous journey. John Ruskin's fairy tale, written in 1841 for a young girl, about greed and kindness, read by Melissa-Marie Shriner. Just over an hour.
