Tony, Emmy, and Golden Globe Award-winning actor John Lithgow (The
Crown, Dexter, 3rd Rock from the Sun) brings his latest critically
acclaimed Broadway performance to Audible. Stories by Heart celebrates
the transcendent power of great literature and serves as a touching
tribute to Lithgow's late father, actor and director Arthur Lithgow.
In the performance, Lithgow intersperses memories from his own life
between dramatic readings of two short stories ("The Haircut" by Ring
Lardner and "Uncle Fred Flits By" by P. G. Wodehouse) from his own
cherished childhood volume of Tellers of Tales. Following his
performance, Lithgow performs a third short story from the anthology -
"The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs - exclusively for Audible listeners.
"Haircut" by Ring Lardner is included by kind permission of the Estate
of Ring Lardner. "Uncle Fred Flits By" by P. G. Wodehouse is included by
kind permission of the Estate of P. G. Wodehouse and taken from his
collection of short stories Young Men in Spats (1936).
