"When a young man escapes an arranged marriage and a young woman is rescued from her abusive home by a great white bear, they both embark on an exploration of love, family, the power of the story, and the power of hope that will take them beyond the four corners of the earth." Based on a traditional Norse fairy tale, East of the Sun, West of the Moon explores the storyteller's role in our daily lives.
Strong sight reading skills a plus!
