{"product_id":"2940151220941","title":"Legacy of a Teapot","description":"Anybody who has ever seen Danny Kaye, storyteller extraordinaire, in Hans Christian Andersen can appreciate the expression, Once Upon a Time. Yet, are we not all children on the inside who would love to sit by a fireside and be captivated by a storyteller as laughter, sorrow, and inspiration fills our ears? This book provides just that, with a mosaic of stories that range from wild to sorrowful and from adventurous to hilarious. Each chapter is a story with a theme running throughout as they are poured from an antique vessel as it brews the tapestry of a family's past. And best of all, they are all told on Christmas Eve while a family sits around their decorated Christmas tree as the true legacy of their ancestors wafts into their waiting ears.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eENDORSEMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Out of the magical, ancestral teapot come mother stories and grandmother stories.
