I was browsing DVDs in the children section of the
Palo Alto library and noticed a movie based on the
Fern Flower Polish folk tale. I got the DVD and really liked it: the animation style is very interesting; the story is told well and some elements of the
related customs (like jumping over bonfires, floating wreaths of flowers with candles) are shown. I recommend it!
This DVD is a part of a 32-volume Animated Tales of the World Series published by Schlessinger Media. You can
buy it separately or get if you're lucky, get it from a library that bought the whole 32-volume edition. If I understand OCLC correctly only
six public libraries in the US have it but luckily for me one of them is the Palo Alto one.
