The Girl Who Sat By The Ashes

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Girl Who Sat By The Ashes by Padraic Colum. Read by Arctura, nanacindy, Elizabeth Klett and Richard Kilmer "Because she used to herd Goats in the high places and the rocky places, she went by the name of Girl-go-with-the-Goats. But that was not the name that she herself called herself. She called herself Maid-alone..." So begins Padriac Colum's renderation of this classical, well-known tale. He was a master story teller, and in this short book combines vivid characters and a depth of plot with the rough-hewn simplicity the story demands. If you are fond of Cinderella stories, you will enjoy this book. And if you believe you dislike all such, it may yet win you over and change your mind.
