About this episode

This is a preview of a premium episode a available on Drift Off Premium. Tonight I will be reading a Spanish Fairy Tale by Fernan Caballero, later collected by Andrew Lang in his Orange Fairy Book. This tale is about a fisherman who finds a baby boy and baby girl in a crystal cradle floating on the river. He and his wife decide to keep the babies and raise them along with their other children. However, the little boy and girl eventually run away because they are mistreated by their older brothers. Let’s find out together now, what happens to this little brother and sister on their adventure along the riverbank. I hope you enjoy!
Sweet dreamzzz...
