A humble musician sets out to find the perfect gift for the woman he loves and is overwhelmed by all he sees, until he discovers within himself his true gift. Annotation. CD included with a reading by Julie Andrews Edwards In a faraway time and place, a humble musician named Simeon sets out on a quest. Thirsting for knowledge and eager to improve his craft, he risks losing all that is important to him, including the love of his beautiful Sorrel. The journey brings many discoveries, and though he tries hard to absorb the vast new tapestry of sounds and ideas before him, the scope of choices eventually becomes overwhelming. Dispirited, he turns for home -- and alone in the grace of nature, he experiences a series of wondrous events that lead him to the discovery of his own true self, and the glorious gift he has to offer. The gentle story of Simeon, a humble Renaissance musician who sets off on a quest in search of his muse, includes an audio reading by Ms. Andrews with original background music by Ian Fraser.
