From Classical Kids series. This outstanding series by Susan Hammond has been called "the best for introducing children to classical music" by the Boston Herald. Each recording features a fictional child at the center of a story that imaginatively combines music, history, drama and fun. Each story is filled with actual events in the composer's life and and excerpts of his music. The companion books are well-illustrated and follow the audio stories. Winner of numerous awards, including Canada's Juno Award as 1990's Best Children's Recording.
