Cherished: Family Entertainment Collection Of Five Short Stories
A timeless collection of five stories of hope, love, and magic that will be enjoyed by child and adult alike.
"Cherished: Family Entertainment Collection of Five Short Stories" is a collection of whimsical stories that will draw you and your entire family into a world of easy listening pleasure. Besides the soothing voice of the narrator, the tales are augmented by birds chirping and waves crashing.
On side one there are three vignettes. "The Magic Crystal" has a young girl discovering an enchanted land inhabited by fairies, unicorns, and other mythical creatures in her own bedroom. A poor mining family is visited by gentle spirits with a message of hope for the future in "When Happiness Knocks". "A Child's Gift" tells of a dying child who gives a special gift of love.
On side two, "The Spirit of Christmas" is one of two stories. A little girl learns the true meaning of Christmas from her grandmother. The second piece "From the Heart" highlights a teenaged girl who cares for her siblings after the death of their parents. An injured dog brings joy and a welcome change to the family's bleak situation.
"Cherished" contains a heartwarming mixture of sadness and joy, suffering and hope with fanciful events that will delight young dreamers. This magical compilation will mostly appeal to girls, and my five year-old is proof of that. From the point she spotted the simple, yet elegant case she latched onto it and hasn't let go. She listens to it every night after lights out and it soothes her to sleep without fail. In this current world of busyness, this collection is a refreshing blend of old-fashioned story-telling and calming sound effects.
