Description

A gentle retelling of a timeless tale invites young listeners into a dark forest where a wandering traveler named Dante finds himself lost among looming trees. He tries one path after another, only to meet a fierce panther, a roaring lion, and a hungry wolf that drive him to the brink of despair. Just when hope seems gone, a kindly stranger named Virgil appears, offering a steady hand and a promise of a safe way out.

Together they face a shadowy descent through a deep, foul‑smelling tunnel, a journey meant to cleanse and guide the soul toward brighter heights. As they move forward, the story weaves in whispers of love and the steady glow of a heavenly Angel who encourages their quest. The narrative stays vivid yet simple, presenting the classic themes of fear, guidance, and perseverance in a way that feels both comforting and adventurous for children and the parents who listen alongside them.
