Finally, after too long a pause, the Just One Story… video upgrading continues.

Here’s Diane Wolkstein, joined by drummer Oneza LaFontant, with her signature telling of the Haitian tale about “The Magic Orange Tree” (from the classic book of the same title).

This is the first episode of the show to be produced in New York’s Central Park, and the first of four stories recorded on June 5, 2010.

Make sure to learn the song that goes with the story, so that you’re in the proper mood. 

“Cric?”

“The Magic Orange Tree” is from the book The Magic Orange Tree and Other Haitian Folktales (Random House–Schocken Books, New York, 1978, reprinted 1997).
