Welcome to Listen Now, Read Later, the podcast that brings you to your next favorite book by reading you short stories. In this episode, listen now to “The Overcoat” by Nikolai Gogol (published 1842) and hear why we think fans of this story should read Fairest by Gail Carson Levine (published 2006) later. 

Highlighted themes: rags-to-riches, injustices of the world and a touch of magic
