Banjo Strings and Drinking Gourds

The Peterkin's Christmas Tree


Listen Later

In this episode, we dramatize a holiday story written in 1883. The adventures of the Peterkin family were chronicled by Lucretia P. Hale throughout the mid to late 19th century. The well-intentioned, but slightly sideways, family tended to create their own obstacles and were usually saved by a "Lady from Philadelphia." This Christmas installment is a perfect case in point!
