A Descent Into the Maelstrom | Edgar Allan Poe for Kids

A kid-friendly adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "A Descent into the Maelström" for listeners ages 8-12.

High on a cliff overlooking the coast of Norway, an old fisherman tells a story that turned his hair white in a single day. He and his brothers sailed too close to a monstrous whirlpool, a real, ferocious current called the Moskstraumen, and watched it swallow their boat whole. What he figured out in those terrifying minutes, the one calculation that saved his life, is either genius or madness. Join Buggy and Dad as they explore one of Edgar Allan Poe's most harrowing tales of nature's raw power.
