Don't bother with the newest retelling of this on Apple TV!
This 1985 version with narration by Meryl Streep adhere so closely to the text of the original story by Marjorie Williams, that you cannot go wrong Add to that the beautiful animation that appears to be based on watercolor paintings, and the gentle piano accompaniment, and you have an altogether touching vintage experience for both young and old! I have always liked that nowhere in the story is there any mention of any kind of deity!
Anytime I read or listen to this story I'm in tears pretty much all the way through it, and this was no exception.
You can watch this for free on YouTube, huzzah!
