Tales of a Wayside Inn by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ~ Full Audiobook [poetry]
from The Book Reader · host Classic Audiobook Collection LLC
Tales of a Wayside Inn by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow audiobook. Genre: poetry Set in the warm glow of a New England hearth, Tales of a Wayside Inn gathers a circle of travelers at the old Sudbury inn where stories are as essential as food and fire. As snow settles outside, a diverse company - including the thoughtful Student, a wandering Sicilian, a sober Theologian, a quick-witted Poet, and other passing guests - agrees to pass the evening in friendly contest, each telling a tale to entertain, provoke, and illuminate. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow frames their storytelling like a medieval story-cycle, then opens into a rich procession of narrative poems drawn from legend, history, and rumor: saints and sinners, kings and commoners, acts of courage and folly, moments of justice, mercy, and eerie wonder. With each new voice, the inn becomes a crossroads of cultures and centuries, where the past feels close enough to touch and every tale carries a quiet question about what people owe to one another. Lyrical, conversational, and often suspenseful, this book invites listeners to settle in, listen closely, and discover how a night of stories can change the way a life is understood.
