Three original tales, drawn from Afro-Caribbean, Native American, and Celtic lore, invite readers to take part in a unique storytelling experience. From the playful antics of The Fiddler and the Dancin' Witch to the animal spirits in The Lesson of the Land to the enchanted setting of The Face in the Lake, each story resonates with vibrantly-colored illustrations. The result is tales that evoke a wealth of storytelling tradition, and also provide an accessible way to introduce children to classical music.

Conceived as a companion book to the musical CD from Sony Classical, Listen to the Storyteller has also been brought to life through original scores by three renowned composers: Wynton Marsalis, Edgar Meyer, and Patrick Doyle.

Whether enjoyed as a stand-alone book, or as an elegant companion to the CD, these tales are sure to inspire a lifelong love of storytelling and music.
