About this listen

The King of the Golden River by John Ruskin is a timeless fairy tale that weaves moral wisdom into a vivid, magical narrative. Written in the mid-19th century, this enchanting story follows three brothers living in a fertile valley: the cruel and greedy Schwartz and Hans, and the kind-hearted Gluck. When a supernatural encounter with the Southwest Wind changes their fortunes, only Gluck’s compassion and selflessness reveal the true secret of the Golden River.

Rich with beautiful imagery and a powerful lesson about the triumph of virtue over greed, Ruskin’s classic remains a beloved tale of hope, humility, and the transformative power of kindness. Perfect for listeners young and old who appreciate moral tales wrapped in fantasy and wonder.

Narrated warmly by Melissa-Marie Shriner, this audiobook brings new life to Ruskin’s magical world.
