When I was a kid, my parents got us a cassette tape called "The Selfish Giant." I remember we listened to it over and over. The story began to Edvard Grieg's Pier Gynt, Suite 1, Op. 46 Morning Mood. I don't know why, but I've been thinking about that story lately. Knowing I can find anything on the internet, I searched it out. I didn't search thoroughly enough to locate the old cassette tape but I did find a printable version and a short animated film in three parts on You Tube. Because I am a techno idiot, I can't manage to upload the actual videos, I've listed the links here. Just copy and paste the links into your browser. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I have!
