EN·~5 hours

Description

A mischievous storyteller, Solario the Tailor spins a series of midnight yarns that blend ordinary craft with uncanny enchantments. In the first night he meets a tall, dark stranger and his luminous daughter, embarking on a quest for a missing button that leads him to a mysterious unicorn whose hair becomes the key to a magical doublet. Along the way, he encounters a hideous old woman, a jolly mule driver, and a host of eccentric characters, each adding a stitch of wonder to his tale.

The subsequent nights unfurl further adventures—unicorns, daring princes, blind ballad singers, and talking seals—each episode a vivid tableau of fantasy and folklore. Solario’s clever bargains, riddles, and unexpected allies hint at deeper mysteries, while his humble trade remains the thread that ties the stories together. Listeners will be drawn into a world where a simple piece of clothing can hold the power to change destinies.
