Wonderful story and excellent telling of it. The ending is truly hair raising.

Oh wait....not Malden,Massachusetts? Thats too bad. Malden Where? Some ungodly place beyond the Rt. 128 Loop undoubtedly....

Thank you so much for this audiobook!

Omg from the things they carried!?!? I love that omgggggg!!!!

God bless you for making this available.

Very helpful discussion - just wanted to contribute an idea not mentioned: the ‘years that run like rabbits’ and the ‘burrows of the Nightmare’ together made me think of ‘naked’ Justice as a days’ old blind and hairless kit, barely born and vulnerable. With democracy in Europe in its infancy, fascism on the rise and world war looming, the burrows provide a necessary refuge from the Nightmare and some hope that justice, protected from threat and nurtured, may survive.

Great video thanks for the recs !

This is wonderful. Thank you Malden Public Library! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁

What an interesting folk tale. Very nicely read too. I was really surprised this upload is from the current year. I thought libraries had been starved out and left for obsolete. But here you are, alive and well and uploading stories. I believe if you want to get people interested in reading, read to them. In this digital age it's easy to forget how vital libraries are and will always be. Not everything gets uploaded. Thank you for the wonderful story Malden Public Library. Signed, A Reader

This is such a great program. I love listening to the stories.

Also check out more work from our panel participants. Andrea Wolanin is a local filmmaker whose films are dark and thoughtful and often defy description. To quote from the filmmaker herself: "While dread and gore might often be inherent in the narratives that so beguile me, I strive to push genre boundaries. My movies are injected with themes from fantasy, science fiction, and the magical realism common to my Latin heritage. I want to tell stories that not only look at the treachery of our souls, but at the darkness of our future." If you would like to see more of her work please check out her site: andreawolanin.com/ Shiraz Biggie is completing her PhD in the department of Theatre and Performance at the Graduate Center, CUNY where she focuses on national culture movements and their relationship to diasporas.

She currently teaches courses on the performance of children and young adult literature at Brooklyn College where she focuses on the adaptation of fairy tales for multiple audiences. She has been published in Studies in Musical Theatre and in the Palgrave Handbook of Musical Theatre Producers and presented at numerous conferences. She is working on a future digital project collecting historical examples of folk and fairy tales in stage performance.
