NIGHT LIGHT AUDIO
FIVE FAIRY TALES
Step into a world of enchantment, danger, and wonder with this timeless collection of fairy tales by Charles Perrault, whose stories have captivated children of all ages for over three centuries. This unique audio edition brings together Perrault's most enduring tales — Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Puss in Boots, Tom Thumb, and the darkly cautionary Blue Beard.
Carrington’s vivid storytelling, expressive range, and mesmerizing vocal timbre lend dramatic precision as she renders each character—heroic, wicked, whimsical, or wise—with humor and emotional depth, bringing even the most surreal moments to life.
Enhancing the experience is modern cinematic sound design by Mack Formway, blending delicate motion with atmospheric textures and tonal elements, drawing listeners deeper into these classic story worlds.
True to Perrault's original intent, each tale concludes with its moral, offered here in both English and French, sharpening the meaning beneath the magic.
BLUE BEARD
Penned in the 17th century, Blue Beard is a classic thriller, and certainly one of the most dramatic folk tales in all of French literature. Here, the atmosphere of every scene is enhanced by intriguingly modern sound design, offering another dimension for listening.
The setting is wealthy French society, in all its richness and style. The tension created by the young wife’s breaking of a taboo and her building fear of her villainous husband; the curiously magical power of the words of the heroine’s sister as she calls out in secret; the climax of the story with the rapid intercutting between characters—all make for a tale that begs to heard.
Perrault’s morals in verse are given in both French and English. The skillful narration overall draws the listener into every nuance of this timeless story.
