When two sisters refuse to behave, their mother threatens to leave and send a New Mother to replace her…with cracked, glass eyes and a long wooden tail. Based on the story by Lucy Clifford.
Told by Dana Macel. Featuring Joyce Klowden, Hannah Mary Simpson, and Ashlyn Seehafer. Adapted by Bryan Renaud.
"The New Mother" is quoted by Neil Gaiman as one of the main inspirations of "Coraline."
