about

“Valemon the White Bear King” is a Norwegian fairy tale that is similar to “The Maiden King” and to “Psyche and Eros,” which leads you to consider the archetypal nature of both the metaphors and the narrative structure of these tales. They are so much more than children’s bedtimes stories! Much may be revealed when you listen to an old story like this one and allow yourself to be drawn in.

I particularly love this story for the image of the white bear, and the reversal of gender roles…. but don’t let me give too much away. Enjoy the story and please check out other artwork by artist Deborah Milton—her painting “Intrepid” (which is the track art) is one of my favorites!
