Show Notes

It’s time to bring out the holiday stories! I've found some not-so-well-know, but lovely stories to enrich your holiday experience. First, we bring you "Captain Eli’s Best Ear" by Frank Stockton. Stockton is best known for his children’s stories, however he wrote many stories for adults too. Though Stockton doesn't have the name recognition of many American authors of his time, his works are slowly being discovered for their engaging style, delivering compelling lessons implicitly, rather than explicitly. I hope you enjoy "Captain Eli's Best Ear"
