Die Lied van die Reën ("the song of the rain") is a short story by (1871-1936)
Not to be confused with the author's famous poem: Die Dans van die Reen ("The dance of the rain").
The original tale
The story first appeared in Die Boerevrou in 1921.
Adaptations and translations
In 2024 the tale was recorded for broadcast by Luisterverhale, as a project undertaken by Katinka Heyns and Sonneblom Ateljees, in partnership with LitNet and sponsored by the Dagbreek Trust. (The Luisterverhale project seeks to have short stories by well known Afrikaans authors are read by professional actors for transmission.)
This audio version, subtitled "'n Koranna-dwaalstorie", was directed by Katinka Heyns and read by Marcel van Heerden.
