Season 1: Old Favorite Fairy Tales
"The Flying Trunk" is a fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Anderson about a young man who has a flying trunk that carries him to Turkey where he visits the Sultan's daughter. The tale was first published 1839. Moral of the story: lying and deception lead to self ruin and an innocent broken heart, never trust a man that lies.
The Junior Classics is a rescue operation to preserve the wisdom in the Classics before it is lost forever. Our goal is to inspire children with a love of good reading and a real and lasting interest in Western history, literature, and scholarship. My hope is to empower you, the parents, with a resource you can trust to enrich your child’s mind and spirit.
We don’t want these stories lost so our children don’t have to learn these lessons on their own.
