Editorial reviews
Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen is best-known for his fairy tales, those enduring stories which have, in the centuries since their publication, come to serve as undisputed and pivotal examples of Western mythology and morality; they are narratives which shape and color many children’s most formative years. In this particular tale, "The Storks", Anderson tells the story of a brood of Storks mocked as hatchlings by a crowd of children, explaining how, in time, they get their revenge.
This light little story is performed by Helen Davies, whose voice is most significantly characterized by its tremendous range - Davies easily imbues her performance with drama and deftly brings each character herein uniquely to life.
