Does the robber's forest actually transform into a sumptuous garden on Christmas Eve? Selma Lagerlöf, today on The Classic Tales Podcast.

Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening.

I'd like to thank those of you who have helped us out this week. As I mentioned last week, Cilla was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She's fine, now. She'd had her surgery and is now considered cancer-free. But it's been a rough time. We're still dealing with the aftermath, and those cancer bills are no joke.

I'm so very grateful to all our supporters who have and do support us, but I'm afraid I need your help again. If you'd like to ensure The Classic Tales keeps going strong, please visit the website, classictalesaudiobooks.com, and either make a donation, buy an audiobook, or pick up one of our many support options.

Not looking to get rich, here. Just trying to make it through this rough patch. So, if you can lend a hand, we'd really appreciate it. Lifetime passes are still 60% off.

Selma Lagerlöf was a Swedish writer, who lived from 1858-1940. She was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1909, "in appreciation of the lofty idealism, vivid imagination, and spiritual perception that characterize her writings".

And now, "The Legend of the Christmas Rose", by Selma Lagerlöf.
