 Write a Review of The Classic Tales Podcast
Outstanding for kids and everyone else, February 04, 2008
Reviewer: peterf
I found the Classic tales podcast more or less by accident and I am so glad I did! Now I save them for whenever I travel with my kids. The last time we took a trip, I couldn't get them to get out of the car until "The Most Dangerous Game" came to a close. They were absolutely enthralled. They loved the Sherlock Holmes tales as well. We're headed to the mountains this weekend and everyone in the family is looking forward to "The Man Who Would be King." Thank you!

There is something wrong about the Spanish residencia on the hill. Some disregard it as only a house with a mad woman with her two children. Others claim that unspeakable things happen at night, when the house is in the shadows. When a wounded war hero takes refuge in this forbidding home, he slowly realizes that degenerate people tend to fraternize with degenerate spirits.
