Once upon a time, long ago, in a time that seemed, to those present, exactly like now except their teeth weren't so clean and more things were wooden, there was a town called Hamelin.
The people of Hamelin were a pompous bunch who loved themselves and their town so much that if it were possible they would have spent all day zipped up in a space suit smelling their own farts. But space suits hadn't been invented yet so they couldn't.
Then one day without warning a gang of rats bowled into the town and began causing a right rumpus. These were no ordinary rats. They were as big as cats and afraid of nothing. They were oily and slick and wore eye patches and carried flick-knives and could machine gun butt-pellets out of their egg-holes whenever they fancied. These rats were real badasses.
The complacent, lazy folks of Hamelin had no idea how to cope with this new menace. They say cometh the hour, cometh the man. That means when a situation demands it, the right person , it could be a woman, despite what sexists would tell you , will appear. This was the hour and in this case the man was a piper. A pied piper. He noticed the town had a bit of a rat problem, and he offered to help.
This is the story of this pied piper fellow with some strange music and a town of pompous people and pompous rats. Maybe you've heard this story before. But maybe you've never heard it quite like this.
Once it had been the great forest of Lythe - a vast and impenetrable thicket of green.And here, in the beginning, lived the Fairfaxes, grandly, at Fairfax Manor, visited once by the great Gloriana herself.
But over the centuries the forest had been destroyed, replaced by Streets of Trees.The Fairfaxes have dwindled too; now they live in 'Arden' at the end of Hawthorne Close and are hardly a family at all.
But Isobel Fairfax, who drops into pockets of time and out again, knows about the past. She is sixteen and waiting for the return of her mother - the thin, dangerous Eliza with her scent of nicotine, Arpège and sex, whose disappearance is part of the mystery that still remains at the heart of the forest.
One morning a little rabbit sat on a bank. He pricked his ears and listened to the trit-trot, trit-trot of a pony. A gig was coming along the road; it was driven by Mr. McGregor, and beside him sat Mrs. McGregor in her best bonnet. As soon as they had passed, little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road, and set off—with a hop, skip, and a jump—to call upon his relations, who lived in the wood at the back of Mr. McGregor's garden.
Wer kennt ihn nicht? Sindbad, den berühmten Seefahrer und Abenteurer aus der Märchensammlung 'Tausendundeine Nacht'. Christian Rode entführt in dieser wunderbaren, ungekürzten Lesung in eine Welt der Wunder und Fabelwesen.
Es ist eines der spannendsten Märchen aus 'Tausendundeine Nacht', wie Ali Baba das Versteck einer großen Räuberbande entdeckt und das geheime Passwort zum Öffnen ihrer Höhle erfährt. Die ungekürzte Erzählung, wie Ali Baba mit Hilfe einer überaus klugen Sklavin die vierzig Räuber überlistet, wird in der mitreißenden Erzählweise von Johanna Wokalek lebendig.
'Die Geschichte des Schneiders' ist eines der humorvollsten Märchen aus 'Tausendundeine Nacht'. Anna Thalbach erzählt mit ihrer ausdrucksstarken Stimme den überaus komisch anmutenden Versuch eines jungen Mannes, seinen schwatzhaften Barbier loszuwerden. Doch da hat er nicht mit der Fürsorge des mit allen Wassern gewaschenen und in allen Wissenschaften bewanderten Mannes gerechnet ...
'Die Geschichte der Christen', aus der Märchensammlung 'Tausendundeine Nacht' - es ist die Erzählung von einem Jüngling. Bei einem Mahl wundert sich sein Gegenüber, warum der junge Mann seine rechte Hand versteckt und nur mit der linken Hand isst, was den arabischen Sitten völlig zuwider läuft. Anna Thalbach erzählt mit ihrer eingängigen Stimme ein Märchen über eine tragische Liebe.
Die Reisen und Abenteuer von Sindbad dem Seefahrer sind berühmt. Auf der zweiten Reise wird Sindbad auf einer Insel vergessen, aber er weiß sich zu helfen ... Udo Wachtveitl erzählt aus der Märchensammlung 'Tausendundeine Nacht', in einer ungekürzten Lesung.
