Open the Door: Celtic Stories and Songs

"Open The Door" is a collection of four stories and three songs of traditional Celtic origin by Jennifer Armstrong. She performs a startling rendition of W. B. Yeats' "The Lake Isle of Innisfree," as well as "Wild Mountain Thyme," and the title song, "Open The Door". Her telling of "Brigid O'Malley" follows a young woman on her journey to find her own story and a sincere love for it. "The Fishwife and the Changeling" explores the value and love of family. In "The Marriage Basket," a melding of African and Scottish tales speaks to the need to love oneself before one can truly love another.

Be you child or adult, listening for yourself or with a partner, "Open The Door" will lead you on an exploration of love- for family, one's self, and the natural world.
