Joseph sold by his brethren.
A warm, gently paced retelling brings the ancient world of the Old Testament into the ears of young listeners. Beginning with Joseph, a bright‑eyed shepherd’s son who wears a dazzling coat of many colours, the story follows his everyday chores, his close bond with little Benjamin, and the jealous murmurs of his older brothers. Joseph’s vivid dreams of sheaves and shining stars spark both wonder and tension, inviting listeners to feel the mix of pride and fear that fuels his early life.
The collection unfolds further with familiar figures such as Ruth, Samuel, and the brave David facing the giant Goliath, each narrated in clear, approachable language and complemented by charming illustrations. These timeless tales offer gentle lessons about family, faith, and perseverance, while inviting children to imagine the bright tents, sun‑baked fields, and star‑filled skies of an age long past. The result is an engaging audio experience that both educates and entertains.
