THE PUPPETS OF SPELHORST

Actor Allan Corduner dazzles listeners with his spellbinding narration of this lovely fable. The first tale in a series called the Norendy Tales features a set of anthropomorphized puppets: a king, a wolf, a girl, and a boy. They belonged to a sea captain, and after his death they end up in the hands of two sisters. As the story unfolds, the puppets bicker with each other amusingly. Through human intervention, each puppet has a misadventure, making the puppets realize how deeply they care for one another. Corduner has a deep, rich voice, ideal for storytelling, and his English accent adds a smooth quality to the narration. He delivers passages with emotion and bravado that are perfect for engaging listeners. A.M. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2023]
