About this listen
Stories from the Village Square is a series of short stories set in an imagined town some years ago (as all good fairy tales are). The Village Square presents narratives of love and loss, misfortune and mirth, the graceful and grotesque.
The fables sparkle with the magic of traditional mythology. In ‘The Fruit Mechanic’, the engine of an obnoxious tourist’s thunderous motorcycle is transformed into silence by an artful greengrocer. In ‘The Fog’, a thick cloud descends upon The Village, sending the entire population into a deep sleep until The Dogs discover a way to rouse them. ‘Kind And Sorrowful’ tells the story of a young man who is saved from drowning by the River Spirit with unforeseen repercussions.
In narrator Richard Piper's intimate reading, the quiet lives of The Villagers unfold, capturing all the complexity, humour and hardship of the human experience.
