About this audiobook
A deceptively simple, but in fact timeless, universal and profound story about a young man making personal amends for disappointing everyone around him, from family to school; but, perhaps most importantly, himself. It moves us and makes us think with the simplicity, charm and clarity of an old, fable-like tale.
