This is a podcast devoted to Albert Bigelow Paine's classic, Victorian-era stories about the Hollow Tree and the animal friends that live there. Paine wrote three books of Hollow Tree stories, one for each of his three daughters. The last story in the series is called "Christmas at the Hollow Tree Inn" and it's that wonderful final story that we republished with new illustrations, available at mrdogschristmas.com.
