My favorite "anything" re: "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" is Richard Harris' "superb" recording of the story with music undescore.
This one won a Grammy, too. Oddly enough, it's not yet made it to commercial CD.
It's a terrific listen...and "tells the story", rather than preach. of a gull who was different, shunned and who moved on to a higher plane, but who later returned to his original flock to help others.
It's a terrific dramatic recording.
