A young Fir Tree stands in the forest. It longs to grow and discover the world and find out where all the other trees are disappearing to...
"Oh, grow, grow, become big and old, that is the only wonderful thing in this world!"
Set against the backdrop of Christmas, Hans Christian Andersen's poignant and bittersweet tale about the importance of living in the moment and not allowing life to pass you by - a wonderfully evocative listen for young and old alike.
Recorded with immersive 3D sound by award-winning audio company Almost Tangible. We recommend listening on headphones.
