Pig Fiction

A delightful folk tale from Romania about a princess who is destined to marry a pig. When the pig arrives at her father's court to woo her, she submits to her fate - but the pig is in reality anything but what he seems. He is a prince who has been bewitched. Unfortunately the witch now tricks the princess into extending the spell - her fate is now to embark on a lengthy quest, hampered by iron sandals, to find her beloved husband and free him from the curse once and for all. Enchanting!

It's Super Hero Day! Jonesy the Chinese puppy dragon and Lamby Lambpants both have hero names and costumes for a fun, imagination-filled day with babysitter Katie Beagle.

Having been very recently brought to life, the anxious toy pig doesn't feel super at all. He's still shy and quite embarrassed about his missing ear and broken tail.

Many modern tales alter the ending and leave some of the story behind. A tale of mutual deception and shoddy home building could bring smiles in this classic tale. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.
