WHITE CAT, BLACK DOG Stories

Seven narrators recount seven stories in this collection of fairy-tale reimaginings. Standouts include "The White Cat's Divorce," narrated by Rebecca Lowman; "Prince Hat Underground," narrated by Dan Stevens; and "The Lady and the Fox," narrated by Tanya Cubric. Lowman's narration highlights the emotional growth of an unnamed youngest son as he comes to understand that his happiness is not tied to his father's in a cannabis-infused retelling of "The White Cat." Stevens's narration focuses on the intense desire the unnamed narrator has to retrieve his beloved, and somewhat feckless, Prince Hat from Hell in a retelling of EAST OF THE SUN & WEST OF THE MOON. Cubric's narration captures the many complexities and varied types of love in the heartbreakingly poignant retelling of "Tam Lin." K.M.P. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2023]
