Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and Other Stories Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Really beautiful, enjoyed reading it. Unfortunately the imagination is polluted by the image of the character seen in Disney's movies and other adaptations. So there is not a great place imagination when reading, but the stories are really good. "

" After reading some reviews on these fairy tails, I was a little apprehensive to read them with my children, but I was pleasantly surprized by them. The kids loved the three silly wishes. His version of Cinderella was praised by my kids as the best version yet. Blue Beard seemed to be a version of Beauty and the Beast, but was too gruesome I thought for read aloud with my kids. But, overall, a very enjoyable book. "

" This book contained 8 different fairytales. A couple were common fairytales and a couple were fairytales I had heard for the first time. I thought this book contained fairytales that has details that were not appropriate for young children. I would say that this book would be good for middle school children. This book also had long pages and difficult words appropriate for older students. The pictures were very detailed with tiny lines and lots of colors. "

" I adore Fairy tales. My only disappointment with this book was that the Grimm's tales were not nearly as dark and they could have been. I prefer the original Grimm's tales before they started editing them for children. "

" It was very interesting to read the "untold stories". The ending of "The Sleeping Beauty" shocked me the most, in a good way. "

" I had never heard of Perrault before I came across this book. I enjoy his fairy tales though more than Grimm. Maybe because some of Grimm's tales are more abstract than I like and because Perrault is, for lack of a better word, less grim. "

" Lovely to read the original of many childhood favourites, though they are much darker here. Some new ones added into the book too. "

" Classic stories, wonderful and well-reasearched translation, many notes on the texts and further readings--what more could you ask for? "

" I had never realized that so many familiar tales (Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast) had originally been set down by Perrault. Intersting to see them collected together. "

" The clever morals make Perrault's retellings special. "

" I know they are Fairy Tales...still, I maintain that growing older is inevitable, but growing up is optional. "

" This was fascinating. I only really read it because of its connections with the Rennes-le-Chateau mystery and Le Serpent Rouge, but enjoyed it nontheless. "

" Interesting to say the least. "
