Ep 51 - The Snow Queen - Part 2 

October 3rd, 2026 , Airing

This week on River Reads season 6, Episode 51- The Snow Queen - Part 2, we continue featuring tales from the collection of 7 stories, called The Snow Queen, from  Fairy Tales By Hans Andersen, today’s  three tales are titled, The Snow Queen- Second Story: A Little Boy and A Little Girl, The Snow Queen - Third Story: The Flower Garden of the Woman Who Knew Magic, and The Snow Queen- Forth Story: The Prince & Princess. 

River Reads is a program where those of all ages can escape into fairy tales and strange stories; both new and old, but mostly old and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s those stories whose premises have perhaps not aged as well over the years. Let’s face it you can’t be too picky when you’re dependent upon free material available to you through creative commons. 

River Reads is not a kids show but not not a kids show and may contain content suitable for a mature audience. Listener discretion is advised.
