We hope you enjoy this preview of an episode from our back catalog available to our premium subscribers. Tonight, we continue where we left off from a Japanese folk story called The Bamboo-Cutter and the Moon-Child. It is taken from a book originally published in 1908 by Yei Theodora Ozaki, from Tokyo. The author’s story was inspired by the Japanese classic, "Taketari Monogatari.” In the story, the father, the bamboo-cutter, beseeches his beautiful and magical moon-princess adopted daughter to pick one of five gallant knights as her husband. She has demanded further trials to vie for her love. To unlock full episodes, ad-free listening, and more, please go to snoozecast.com/plus.
