About this book
Step aboard David Cory's The Iceberg Express and sail into a string of shimmering fairy tales where mermaids, enchanted palaces, and toys that come to life await. David Cory's collection follows curious children like Mary Louise as they wander from windswept beaches to Coral Palaces, meet King Seaphus, and tumble through whimsical realms such as Candy City and Toy Land. Each short tale brims with gentle magic, adventurous spirit, and moral warmth that made Cory a beloved teller of children's stories.
Rooted in an early 20th-century, turn-of-the-century fairy-tale sensibility, these stories blend literary charm with the oral storytelling tradition—simple enough for young listeners, rich enough for adults who savor classic fantasy and imaginative literature. Themes of wonder, kindness, bravery, and the boundary between the ordinary and the enchanted thread every episode without ever losing its playful tone.
Ideal for family listening, bedtime story sessions, or anyone who adores vintage fairy tales and gentle fantasy, The Iceberg Express is an audiobook invitation to dream, explore, and remember how thrilling the world feels when you believe in a little magic.
