What simple delights are in store in a visit to the wooden clog maker who lives in the forest? André Theuriet, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

As a side note, I'm going to be playing Ebenezer Scrooge in Payson Community Theatre's production of Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol. To celebrate, our VINTAGE episodes for December will be the original text of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, which I recorded in 2018, when my son Seven was playing Scrooge in High School. I guess we've come full circle.

Today's story appeared in a collection of Christmas stories by French and Spanish writers, translated by Antoinette Ogden. It's a sweet story with some beautiful imagery. By the way, a sabotier is a maker of wooden shoes, or clogs. Enjoy!
