A tale from Germany about a strange creature called Mannikin Spanalong which a young girl helps to free, and she gets her own freedom in return. 

Story Prescription: A story about facing your fears and moving forward; about being kind in the face of uncertainty and adversity; a story about being strong and independent; about importance of caring for elders, and the wisdom that you can gain in return.

Story Caution: If listening alone, some very small children might find Mannikin Spanalong a little frightening. It is a story worth finishing till the end.
