A Christmas Legend

"A Christmas Legend" by Vernon Lee follows Hilarion, a poor servant of upright heart, who volunteers to live alone in a haunted forest clearing where his master's family fled in terror. Night after night he hears angelic voices and sees heavenly light, yet holds firm in faith. Into this strange wood come a venerable king seeking one wiser than himself, and a beautiful princess seeking one more beautiful. When a weary carpenter and his wife arrive seeking shelter, everything Hilarion has witnessed begins to converge in the cold midwinter stable.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
