Rabbit Ears World Tales: Volume Four features mystical stories from all around the globe—read by your favorite stars and featuring original music by some of today’s greatest artists. The White Cat is based on the eighteenth-century French fairy tale about a young prince who befriends an enchanted queen, who is in the form of a cat. She provides him with the rarities requested by his father, in a series of challenges to win his kingdom. Their affection for each other blossoms into love and the price helps break the spell that an evil gnome has cast over the white cat. The Fool and the Flying Ship is based on a Russian folktale and will be a delightful treat for children and parents. Long ago in Russia, a proclamation went out through all the land that whosoever could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar’s daughter. But when a country bumpkin and his oddball crew of extraordinary friends show up to claim her, the dumbfounded Tsar quickly has second thoughts.

      As Susan Sarandon narrates the Russian tale "The Firebird," her near-whisper of a voice transforms magically into many characters--from the hapless archer Ivan to his majestic companion, the Horse of Power, to the evil Czar. Mark Isham's original music enhances the sense of another world and time created by Sarandon. In the second story, the incomparable Sir John Gielgud drolly narrates the emperor's timeless tale of narcissistic folly. Gielgud's wise British voice brings alive the emperor's silly vanity and insecurity as he pretends to gloat over his nonexistent attire. Once again, Mark Isham's music provides the perfect backdrop, sometimes shimmering in silky tones, other times trumpeting the fanfares of the courtly world in which the story is set. J.C.G.
