Summary

Actress Jodie Foster narrates this classic from the Brothers Grimm. One day, a poor fisherman catches and then frees an enchanted flounder who is able to grant any wish imaginable. A simple man without pretensions, the fisherman would rather leave well enough alone. But his wife's greed forces the fisherman to return to the flounder time after time until it is too late. A thought-provoking tale with original music accompaniment by Van Dyke Parks. Ages six and up. Part of the award-winning Rabbit Ears series, Storybook Classics.
