✨ When a curious young apprentice decides to try a little magic of his own, things take a chaotic turn in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe — read aloud in full by Original Strange Fairy Tales and Other Stories. This darkly whimsical tale follows a boy left alone with his master’s magic… and a broom that won’t stop obeying.
🪄 A Little Background:
First published in 1797, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (Der Zauberlehrling in German) is one of Goethe’s most beloved narrative poems. Blending humor, tension, and a hint of menace, it’s a cautionary tale about youthful arrogance and the dangerous allure of power. The story became world-famous through its adaptation in Disney’s Fantasia, but Goethe’s original poem is richer in rhythm, symbolism, and mystery. It echoes old folklore themes: the overreaching student, the enchanted object, the spell that won't be undone.
Here, it’s brought to life with a full reading in English and atmospheric visuals — a tale of mischief, magic, and mayhem that still resonates today.
