The Counterpane Fairy
Katharine Pyle
Read by Lee Elliott
A little boy, recuperating from a lengthy illness, is entertained by visits from the Counterpane Fairy, who treats him to stories associated with each of the squares in the counterpane (quilt) on his sickbed. She has him concentrate on one of the squares until it turns into something like a doorway into the story. Once inside the story, he becomes its lead character until it fades out as if he's awakening from a dream. (Summary by Lee) (2 hr 44 min)

The story was very cute and the narrator was wonderful. She gave life to the Counterpane Fairy. A good narrator makes all the difference!
