Tales of The Wise Fools of Chelm
Mel PowellThe mythical village of Chelm is where, in the mid- to late-1800s, the Wise Fools lived. Where everyone was a fool, no one was aware of being foolish. These are their stories--unlike other stories in the Chelm genre, very short-form tales as read aloud in synagogue over many years. (But you don't have to be Jewish! All are welcome.)

United States3 years ago - Great Podcast!!
It’s so enjoyable listening to these stories read by the author rather than in the voice I hear in my head when reading them. Mr. Powell adds emotion and wonderful comic timing to bring these stories to life. Highly recommended!!
