Author's summary: "He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long." Former High King of Narnia and current RAF Flight Officer Peter Pevensie is not a fool. 
Notes: This is a story about Peter in WWII occupied France. It was a joy to record, and it was fun to read some French, too. The songs used are "Blueberry Hill" with Louis Armstrong, and "How High the Moon", "You Go To My Head", and "Body and Soul" with Ella Fitzgerald. I didn't include the long research notes at the end, but you can check them out at the link above. Thanks to andeincascade for the beta!

Thank you so much for doing this. It is lovely. You have a wonderful reading voice and I adore how well you incorporated the music and the French.

Really looking forward to listening!

And while I'm here I'll just say that I listened to two things recently you wrote and podficced: The Hills of Iowa and The Two Sisters. They were both great stories/performances but I thought the ballad retelling was particularly beautiful. It's one of my favourite ballads and you totally did it justice. But then I love that Dar Williams song and justice was performed there too. Anyway, keeping both for relistens, and thank you for this one as well!

Thanks again! I usually don't use music in podfic unless there's a good reason for it in the story. I knew I had to do it with this one! And it was fun to use some French--I took French in school for six years, so I at least know how to pronounce it.

Oh yay, thank you, I'm so glad you liked those! This comment pretty much made my day. : )
