About this audiobook

A humble ex-soldier tills a patch of earth and raises a turnip so immense it fills a cart—then hauls his marvel straight to the king. The gift brings him riches beyond imagining, and stirs a storm of envy in his wealthy brother, who schemes to outdo him with lavish presents—and is repaid with the very turnip he scorned. When jealousy turns murderous, the poor brother survives by his wits, spinning a hilarious “sack of wisdom” ruse that leaves a vain student dangling and the trickster riding free. Sumara Meers brings the Brothers Grimm’s sharp humor and timeless moral to life with warmth and sparkle, voicing a bustling court, a blustering brother, and a quick-thinking hero you can’t help but cheer. Brisk, witty, and richly told, The Turnip is a family-friendly fable about generosity over greed and cleverness over cruelty—perfect for a quick listen on the go or a shared bedtime tale.
