The Tale of Johnny Town-mouse
Beatrix Potter, Glenn Hascall, Spoken Realms
A tale by Beatrix Potter reborn from Aesop's shorter fable of the town mouse and country mouse. High living in town, but many dangers. A more simplified life in the country, but perhaps not to the liking of some. A tale of divergent perspectives and, in this case, a realization that neither were wrong. Narrated by Glenn Hascall.
