Epic-style adventure with some scary stuff

This is an epic-style children’s story. It is perhaps best for an older kid—9 or 10. It’s very sad at the beginning and then quite scary. My 7.5 year old loved it, but I cringed more than once. Story is thrilling with a happy ending.

Stephanie Barron’s novels are well-researched and fun. As a professor, I learn as much factual information as I do “who-dunnit.” This first story had a bit of silliness, but it was the first novel, and the author had some setup to do for the remaining series. The mysteries are interesting and the immersion into Austen’s world fascinating. The reader is also enjoyable.

Cool stories, but violent

Unique selection of folk stories and a good reader, but the stories are so interesting they aren’t especially relaxing. The stories also discuss a lot of violence (including infanticide and beheadings), so not for little kids.

My five year old loves these as I did as a child. And this production is just so much fun, with the author’s own narration and lighthearted music to accompany. Plus, it’s a great deal for ALL the stories.

Well-researched material, weird-but-fascinating animals, and a well spoken reader that doesn’t rush reading!

The narrator has a nice voice, but awkward timing. The format is completely uninteresting for kids. Better for a disciplined, experienced meditator.

Fun , sweet, unusual stories. Audio is a little bad. It seems quiet and the music is a little distracting, but we loved this quirky stories.
