The Worker in Sandalwood

"The Worker in Sandalwood" tells the story of Hyacinthe, a lonely fourteen-year-old carpenter's apprentice in a small winter village, who must finish a delicate sandalwood cabinet by Christmas morning or face his master's cruelty. Exhausted and weeping, he opens the workshop door to a quiet-eyed stranger who speaks of warm southern lands and offers to help with the carving. As dawn approaches, something impossible happens to the cabinet's bare corners — and Hyacinthe is left to wonder who his visitor truly was.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
