About this book
Step into a world of whimsy with The Magic Soap Bubble by David Cory, a charming collection of fairy-tale adventures that has delighted listeners since 1922. Cory’s playful voice and sprightly characters—gnomes, talking animals, brave children, and enchanted objects—carry readers through short fantasy tales brimming with gentle humor, imagination, and small moral lessons.
These linked stories from the Little Journeys to Happyland series follow curious youngsters like Ned and Jimmy as they tumble into Fairyland, meet a tiny Gnomeman, a sorrowful Bluebird, a helpful fish, and other memorable figures who reveal secret magic—soap bubbles that float to far-off places, a mysterious ring, a magic cake, and more. Written in the early 20th-century tradition of classic children’s literature, the book blends rhyming verse, vivid imagery, and whimsical episodes that feel like bedside storytelling for a new generation.
Perfect for family listening, nostalgic adults, and teen or young-adult fans of classic fairy tales and gentle fantasy, this audiobook invites you to rediscover simple wonders and imaginative escapes. Cozy, lighthearted, and timeless, The Magic Soap Bubble is an ideal listen for anyone who loves vintage children’s fantasy and warm, imaginative storytelling.
