A tale from Howard Pyle's The Wonder Clock with a fascinating blend of many different fairy tale elements. Erin apologizes for spring having begun in South Central TX (it's true!), causing tempus to seriously fugit. A little chat, and a good book, thanks to a listener suggestion.

17 Oct 2008Episode 20: The Snow Queen (3 of 3) - third time's a charm

At last, closure! We finish up Andersen's "The Snow Queen" and Erin shares the glories of whole milk ricotta cheese. We have a winnah! And despite some chat, we're a little brief today - c'est la vie.
The first version had music hiccups and left out text - and the second version just left out text. This should be fixed now. I'm so sorry, y'all. It must be an excess of holiday spirit. Meaning colored tissue paper and fair isle knitted stockings, not the bibulous kind.
