The Six Swans is a tragic tale of six young princes turned to swans by their wicked stepmother and condemned to roam the skies for eternity.
 
“Take to the skies in swan’s white down
No more shall you wear your father’s crown.
‘tis I alone share your father’s throne,
whilst you poor creatures the wild world roam.
Yet you will carry all your days, the memory of your princely ways.
Though never more you shall belong,

you’ll haunt men’s hearts with sweet swan song.”

 
Only their sister can free them from the dark magic that possesses them and restore them to their rightful human form.

REVIEWS

" .... a beautiful rendering of a magical story that takes the listener into an enchanted world where dark powers are overcome by the devoted love of a sister for her brothers. Anne Maria's voice is beautiful and she tells it beautifully and poignantly, drawing the listener into the story and its unfolding. Many congratulations in creating such a moving rendering of one of the great fairy tales."  -  Anne Baring author of The Dream of the Cosmos: A Quest for the Soul.
