Season 2 Episode 9

"The Valiant Little Tailor" is a popular fairy tale that originates from the collection of stories by the Brothers Grimm, known as Grimm's Fairy Tales. This particular tale follows the adventures of a clever and crafty tailor who, despite his small stature, manages to overcome various challenges and achieve great feats through his wit and ingenuity.

In the story, the valiant little tailor is mistakenly called a "valiant" after he swats seven flies with a single strike. Eager to prove himself, he embroiders a belt with the phrase "Seven at One Blow" and sets off on a series of adventures. Along his journey, the tailor encounters giants, wild animals, and other fantastical creatures, but manages to outsmart them all using his wit and clever tricks.

As the tailor's reputation grows, he is tasked with increasingly difficult challenges by a king. These include capturing a unicorn, fighting a wild boar, and even defeating a giant. Through his cunning and quick thinking, the valiant little tailor successfully completes each task, earning the respect and admiration of the king, as well as his daughter's hand in marriage.

Books in Sound is a free podcast series that presents a collection of hundreds of the world’s greatest books through the magic of the performing arts.

Different from audiobooks: Instead of having a single narrator read an audiobook, these performances have a full cast of actors, suitable background music, and special effects that help define the drama.

Most presentations are from old time radio theater broadcasts that have been remastered to remove most of the hissing, clicking and volume fluctuations. Many of the presentations are from the 1930's and 1940's, so a significant amount of work went into the remastering process.

Most presentations are about one hour, some are multiple hours, and some are abbreviated presentation that last about half an hour, making this series wonderful for bedtime stories, self-improvement by learning about literature, or simply as a very imaginative form of entertainment.

The episodes are not sequential, but we do recommend listening to the complete collection starting with the first episode so that you can grow and benefit from the wide assortment of styles and content.
