Tales for Children Audiobook (Unabridged)

" alot of these fairy tales were different from what I was raised reading or hearing. "

" Knew most of them, those I didn't weren't so great. Aladdin was a struggle to get through because it just kept dragging on and on when it should've ended about a quarter of the way through, but I guess that isn't the book's fault. Fairly average, missed some of the better fairy tales that were excluded, and some of those that were I didn't really see the point of. "

" Some of these stories were new to me, and others I was familiar with, buit my overall impression was "disturbing." I am glad I read this myself before I read it to my kids. "

" A good collection of well loved fairy tales. Good read!! "

" Not a bad book. It was a good book but a lot of the stories were not quite what i think they are really like. It seemed like a cross between the Disney version and the real version. Not a bad book, a very interesting read and pretty quick. I enjoyed it. "

" Very different versions of the stories that I have read before. "

" I tried this book as it was a free kindle book. Honestly, I did not finish the book. It just simply didn't hold my interest. I liked some of the fairy tales but others were quite slow. I normally like fairy tales but this book did not do much for me. "

" Excellent collection of fairy tale in their original form, some I remember and others that were interesting surprises. I thoroughly enjoyed them all. "

" It was alright, there were some stories I didn't know and some that were completely different to the ones I remember from my childhood. "

" Pretty good collection of some fairy tales. For the amount it has, there is a pretty wide variety, with very well known and not so well known ones. "

" Too much Jack in the Bean Stalk... "

" Yipes, and to think I enjoyed these as an impressionable child! What were the Brothers Grimm, and my beloved Walt Disney smoking? "

" While I knew most of the stories in here, I really enjoy reading and learning different versions. There was even one story I had never heard before, that alone was worth the read! "

" A very good collections of classic and some not so well known fairy tales. Not quite as gritty as original Grimm stories, but definitely more raw than the sugar-coated versions you so often see available. "

" Eh...whatevs. Some were good, some I'd never heard of and some were SO ridiculously descriptive and never ending it was just stupid. Interesting tho to see the famous ones we all know how different they were in their original (i think) forms. "

" Cute, most of these I had never actually read before so it was interesting. "

" A most excellent collection, including both longer versions of stories I have long known, and one or two charming fables of which I've never heard before. Well worth reading. "

" It was so great to finally read a fairy tale instead of only knowing what Disney says the stories ought to be. "

" This collection makes one consider just how biased against women popular western fairy tales are. In a large percentage of them, some woman is plotting against the hero/heroine. I like Ali Baba and the 50 thieves where the smart woman servant has to save his ass a million times. "

" In theory, a nice collection of well-known fairy tales and stories. In reality, very dry. I'm glad to read some of the original stories as they were told and not how Walt Disney re-told them. "

" I love fairy tales and this is a great collection of them. "

" very old school some good others haard to understand "

" I probably wouldn't have read this had it not been free for kindle. There're some favorites in here, but while I enjoy fairytails in general, I much prefer the unfiltered Grimm's. I mean, Cinderella's just not the same without some good ole toe carnage. "

" Another free read on Amazon. "

" Turns out that fairy tales are pretty dark, and some of them don't seem appropriate for children at all. Fun to read, though. "

" My all time favorite book!!! Ingenious! "

" I read through DailyLit emails, a great way to read or re-read the classics. "

" I hate Dickens, and have always had a serious dislike for this book. Wrote a paper on it even. Boring. "

" What a book! What an ending! "

" need a lot of vocab skill to understand this book.. for me of course. but after all, it's gorgeous! "

" One of my faves, read many many times. "
