Marcia Brown has made of this old tale a carnival of activity, dancing, and laughter

Three soldiers came marching down the road towards a French village. The peasants, seeing them coming, suddenly became very busy, for soldiers are often hungry. So all the food was hidden under mattresses or in barns. There followed a battle of wits, with the soldiers equal to the occasion. Stone soup? Why, of course, they could make a wonderful soup of stones...but, of course, one must add a carrot or two...some meat...so it went.

      When three traveling monks pondering the question of happiness enter a village, only one curious girl comes out of her home to interact with them. Eventually, curiosity about how to make soup from three stones brings more delectable items to the pot and harmony to the village. Narrator B.D. Wong is as mellow and rich as the soup! His resonant voice gives gentle authority to each monk. His leisurely pacing leaves time for contemplation and for the peeking villagers to open their doors and hearts as they offer additional ingredients to the original "recipe." To conclude the recording, the author details the story's odyssey from Europe to China and his personal odyssey as an artist. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine

      This old French tale about soldiers who trick miserly villages into making them a feast won a Caldecott Medal when Brown retold and illustrated it in 1947.
