But we’re on pins and needles waiting for part 3 of the Little Mermaid!
Unusual stories read well!
So far there are only three episodes to this podcast but I am eagerly awaiting more. I appreciate learning the history of each tale. The reader also shares why chose each story, without allowing her personal thoughts to get in the way of the stories themselves.
