Walter Zimmerman and Jack Benson team up to deliver a lively performance of this children's classic by Frank Stockton. In The Griffin and the Minor Canon a griffin gets word that his likeness was used for a sculpture at a town's church and decides to investigate. His presence, unfortunately, throws the town into a panic, and they call upon the Minor Canon to rid their town of this creature. Zimmerman and Benson's enthusiasm ensures listeners of all ages will enjoy this story.
