The Snow Queen and Other Stories
Hans Christian Andersen
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This project features four longer stories by Hans Christian Andersen.
Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films. ( Summary from Wikipedia ) (2 hr 24 min)

good attempt

good choice of book but had to give up as couldn't understand accent fully. Well read though for someone who speaks English as a second language

very nice story but hard to understand with german accent. starts out very good but after some time german accent makes it difficult. voice is pleasent.
Couldn’t finish

It was good the first chapter, the lady with the ?French? Accent is very hard to understand I actually thought it switched part way through and had to really strain to make out the words.
A LibriVox Listener
One of the two readers was excellent, the other was nearly incomprehensible. Fantastic writing!
Ellio

Wonderful
