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 throughthe lands of the old Russia that anyone who can 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 dumbfounded Tsar quickly has second thoughts...
The hilarious Russian folktale is half-an hour long and laced with the original music performed by The Klezmer Conservatory Band.
The CD comes with one more tale recorded on it - "The White Cat" (read by Emma Thompson).
