Reseñas de la Crítica

"Opening with Katherine Kellgren's stately, measured reading of 'Rapunzel,' this collection presents these tales in all of their original, macabre splendor.... From Jim Dale's fully voiced reading of 'Rumpelstiltskin' to Kate Rudd's formal narration of 'Little Snow-White' and Dion Graham's lightly accented rendition of 'The Twelve Huntsmen,' these are stellar performances."

Grimm fairytales

It's dark so I recommend you be tan or older to listen to this but it's actually a great book

Interesting

I enjoy the original stories. Like many others I never knew how dark they are.

Dark.

These guys were Stephen King before Stephen King was Stephen King. Dark compared to the Disney/Modern versions I learned as a kid.

Kids love it

My kids love this book, they listen to parts of it every night going to bed.

Wonderful and wicked

These are the Disney stories you know and love - but these originals are so much more brutal and satisfying than any children's book. This is a must have.

Great Listen

I loved all the stories and really enjoyed the over all performances. Only slightly repetitive.

Family Favorite

We thoroughly enjoyed this reading of Grimm’s Fairy Tales and especially appreciated the use of multiple narrators.

My favorite audible book!

This is an incredibly entertaining audio book.
