Do you like apples? Find out about the real man who loved apples so much that he traveled the country to share the fruit with everyone he met in Johnny Appleseed. It's the latest episode of YourClassical Storytime, featuring music from Antonin Dvořák's New World Symphony and original illustrations by Nancy Carlson.
