This audio CD contains two fairy tales one of which is Russian. It's "The Fool and the Flying Ship", read by Robin Williams. The series known as "The Treasury of World Tales" presents broadcasts for children that were performed by accomplished actors and prominent musicians on the National Public Radio in the early nineties. So this release is a rare chance to enjoy the great "forgotten" recording.

...A proclamation was sent through the lands of long-ago Russia that anyone who could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar's daughter. but when a country bumpkin and his oddball friends show up to claim her, the dumbfound Tsar quickly has second thoughts.

This hilarious 29-minute long Russian folktale is a delightful treat. The CD comes with one more tale - "The White Cat" (read by Emma Thompson), which is 27 minutes long.

In English language. For ages 3 to 10.
