Tomorrow, North Carolina–born Jeslyn Wheeless and her son Ben will be doing a programme at the Statue of Hans Christian Andersen in Central Park (72nd Street and 5th Avenue entrance, New York City) at 11:00 a.m. US Eastern time.

You can get a strong sense of Mme. Wheeless’ storytelling style in this, the first of three Just One Story… episodes recorded on 7 August 2010. Here’s her telling of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea” (plus the bonus of Jeslyn and her son Benjamin performing “Frog in the Well”).
