The Tale Spinners for Children introduces an exciting new concept on records for young people. Every album in the series combines three major ingredients: classic stories for young people; a fine theatrical company plus a famous actor or actress playing the title role, and the music of the Hollywood Studio Orchestra providing the finest background possible.Through the magic of Tale Spinners, young listeners are exposed to the finest literature, and a form of classical music presented in a most attractive setting.
