Night after night, a father spins a new, wildly fantastical tale from the other end of the telephone.
Gianni Rodari’s Telephone Tales is many stories within a story. Every night, a traveling father must finish a bedtime story in the time that a single coin will buy. One night, it’s a carousel that adults cannot comprehend, but whose operator must be some sort of magician, the next, it’s a land filled with butter men who melt in the sunshine!
