Acerca de esta escucha
Do you ever wonder if there is a gnome living in the hole at the bottom of the old tree in the park?
Have you ever felt like you weren't alone while in the woods?
Did you know that elves are responsible for many of our day-to-day occurrences?
If your mind ever fills with these kinds of questions, then these modern fairy tales are for you!

Combined into one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien's five acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of The Hobbit, read by Derek Jacobi. The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are joined here in one volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for listeners young and old.

Mindfulness and meditation have helped millions to get to sleep with much more ease than ever before. Something that many parents haven’t considered is how these things can help their little ones to wind down, get ready for sleep, kick nightmares from their headspace, and settle in for a long night’s rest. Teaching meditation to your children might seem like an impossible feat, but many have found that their children are remarkably receptive to it when it’s presented like a story.

Gerald Durrell's last book, The Aye-Aye and I, records his final animal-collecting expedition, a trip to Madagascar in 1990, and his efforts to save the elusive and mythical lemuroid known as the Aye-Aye. Prompted by the country's radical deforestation and slash-and-burn agriculture, Durrell, his wife, and their team of zoologists embark on a mission to capture and conserve the species - distinguished by its "giant, chisel-like teeth", "round, hypnotic eyes", and large "spoon-like ears".

He begins his tale as a young man, and how he went down to the human underworld and got hold of the immortality meant for humans, long before Julius Caesar came into the Celtic lands; how he sailed West to America with the Irish monks searching for the Paradise of the Saints; and how he continuously went down into the land of the dead and returned.

Drawn by an online post, Tom Ryan adopted Will, a frightened, deaf, and mostly blind elderly dog, and brought him home to live with him and Atticus. The only owners Will ever knew had grown too fragile to take care of themselves or of him. Ultimately Will was left at a kill shelter in New Jersey. Tom hoped to give Will a place to die with dignity amid the rustic beauty of the White Mountains of his New Hampshire home. But when Will bites him numerous times and acts out in violent displays, Tom realizes he is in for a challenge.

Dar Oakley - the first Crow in all of history with a name of his own - was born two thousand years ago. When a man learns his language, Dar finally gets the chance to tell his story. He begins his tale as a young man, and how he went down to the human underworld and got hold of the immortality meant for humans, long before Julius Caesar came into the Celtic lands; how he sailed West to America with the Irish monks searching for the Paradise of the Saints; and how he continuously went down into the land of the dead and returned.

What do you do when your world ends? At 28 years old, Krista Schlyer sold almost everything she owned and packed the rest of it in a station wagon bound for the American wild. Her two best friends joined her - one a grumpy, grieving introvert, the other a feisty dog - and together they sought out every national park, historic site, forest, and wilderness they could get to before their money ran out or their minds gave in.

In this fantastically macabre tale, the separate halves of a nobleman split in two by a cannonball go on to pursue their own independent adventures. In a battle against the Turks, Viscount Medardo of Terralba is bissected lengthwise by a cannonball. One half of him returns to his feudal estate and takes up a lavishly evil life. Soon the other, virtuous half appears. The two halves become rivals for the love of the same woman, fight a bloody duel, and achieve a miraculous resolution.

And amongst her other garrulous qualities, she says that his beautiful garden doesn't really look like a garden at all. She thinks it looks more like a park.

Combined into one volume, this is the definitive collection of Tolkien's five acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tales in the vein of The Hobbit, read by Derek Jacobi. The five tales are written with the same skill, quality and charm that made The Hobbit a classic. Largely overlooked because of their short lengths, they are joined here in one volume which reaffirms Tolkien's place as a master storyteller for listeners young and old.

The Original Bambi is an all-new translation of a literary classic that presents the story as it was meant to be told. For decades, readers' images of Bambi have been shaped by the 1942 Walt Disney film—an idealized look at a fawn who represents nature's innocence—which was based on a 1928 English translation of a novel by the Austrian Jewish writer Felix Salten. This masterful new translation gives contemporary readers/listeners a fresh perspective on this moving allegorical tale and provides important details about its creator.

Maleficent was a different sort of faerie. For one thing she was raised by all the Fair Folk after her parents were killed. For another she believed there had to be some good in everyone, even humans. Happy and spirited, Maleficent was beloved by all who knew her. That is until she experienced the ultimate betrayal by a trusted friend.

cute short stories
This was a collection of cute little short stories. I think my favorite one was about the little girl who discovers the reason for her connection to the animals.
My ONLY complaint is that the narrator's voice was rather scratchy, and I kept hoping that he would drink some water and clear his throat. He didn't, and it wasn't bad enough to stop listening, but the mild annoyance remains.

Short but sweet
Would you consider the audio edition of The Gnome in the Neighborhood to be better than the print version?
Yes, the narrator, Alan Weyman, is great. He has a great voice that really puts the feeling into the words.
What did you like best about this story?
It was a series of short stories that were all very enchanting and fun to listen to. Would be great for children and adults who like fantasy or fairy tales.
Have you listened to any of Alan Weyman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
My first time listening to this narrator and I will definitely be looking for others of his.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The first story(Chapter 3) and the second story (chapter 4) were my favorites.

Love the magic
What a wonderful collection of stories. The narration made me feel as though I was snuggled up by a fire listening to a storyteller rocking away in his chair while he passed down stories of wisdom and wonder. Overall, the stories made me really want to believe in magic and cause me to take a second look or to reminisce upon the audiobook itself when I find myself wandering about outside.

Strange
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
This consisted of seven short stories concerning magic. They were... pretty strange. If you like short whimsical fun stories, this is for you. It was well written and I liked the writing style of the author.
Also, the narrator had a very gravelly voice and it didn't sit well with me for this novel.

Difficult narration
I thought the stories were really great, but it was hard for me to get past the narrator having a speech in pediment. I’m not trying to be unkind, but it was hard to listen to.
