This book is awesome 👌, but nothing can beat the crimson fairy book. Kaylnda has always been such a good reader. I wish she read all the tales....... lol ìm into fairy tales a lot. especially short tales. these were.. quite short but some do be long. like 30 minutes. 😀 set my change

Excellent stories, some readers difficult to understand


(4 stars)

The stories are a good range from different regions. Unfortunately Julia Niedermaier is extremely difficult to understand so I have skipped those stories.

LOVE IT

Julia Niedermier reads sooo fast! 🤨She needs to slow down. She is German. I can tell because the way she pronounces stuff. All of the other readers are great though.👍 To: I wish I knew the authors. Andrew Lang is the author.
