No thanks to his naughty cat Simpkin, the tailor of Gloucester has no more twisted silk thread to finish the coat he has promised the mayor for his wedding on Christmas day. With the help of some special friends, the tailor finds that a kind favor is returned. Meryl Streep narrates this sensitive retelling, accompanied by original music performed by The Chieftains to beautifully evoke the period, flavor and subtle humor of this wry tale from Beatrix Potter. Ages five and up. Part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears series, Storybook Classics. Nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children.

Spared my chid-like wonder and imagination anew! Reminded me of the days before ultra technology when simple, yet masterfully told stories were good as gold. Well done.

Child-like Wonder!

Reading this seasonal story aloud was a tradition when the children were little, but now they are gone, I listen to Meryl Streep read it just for me. Thank you to Meryl, and thank you to Rabbit Ears Radio.
