About this listen

A vicious tempest is raging on a New England mountainside. A young traveler sojourns through the sea of wind and snow, finding refuge in a cottage, cozily nestled in the notch of a hill. The traveler burns with a determination to make his name known to the world. But that will all have to wait until the storm subsides.

Harrison usually narrates stories very well. however in this case, the quality of the recording is very dolldrum, it's great background noise, but very challenging to follow the story, unless you have alread6vtead the text of the book.
