The Story Orchestra: In the Hall of the Mountain King
$24.99
Some books you read. This one you listen to.
In the Hall of the Mountain King is a musical retelling of Grieg's Peer Gynt — a Norwegian folk tale about a restless boy who sneaks away from a wedding feast, stumbles into the lair of the Mountain King, and has to find his way back out. Along the way, he learns something about humility, friendship, and telling the truth.
Built into the pages are 10 sound buttons, each one playing an excerpt from Grieg's original orchestral score. Press the button, hear the music, and let it set the scene. It's a genuinely different kind of storytime.
What makes it special:
- 10 sound buttons with real orchestral excerpts from Grieg's score
- A retelling of the classic Norwegian folk tale Peer Gynt
- Beautiful illustrated scenes that pair with the music
- Interactive format that encourages listening and engagement
- A natural introduction to classical music for young readers
A great gift for kids who love stories, music, or both — and for parents who want something a little more memorable than the usual bedtime book.
