Publisher's summary

It's anything but Grimm when the Tell 'Em Steve Dave crew gives their hilarious takes on some of the best and least known fairy tales.

Join Bryan Johnson, Brian Quinn and Walt Flanagan with special guest Sunday Jeff as they create a magical world of fantasy and wonder, trolls, living plants, and sinful dwarves. It doesn't get any better than this...or funnier.

Not for children but definitely for those who are a child at heart.

Funny telling of old standby fairytales!

Would you consider the audio edition of Tell Em Steve Dave Fair-re-re Tale Theater to be better than the print version?

Since there is no print version, this is not applicable.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the way the conversations about explore the scenarios in the stories with an eye toward comparing the events to real life. This leads to big laughs.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The narrators, or the TESD Players in this case, compare and contrast real life to life as lived under the rules of the world in which the stories take place. Lots of funny observations from the TESD crew.

TESD at their best

Who was your favorite character and why?

Walt as Rumpelstiltskin. His voice was nothing short of an oscar worthy performance

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed until it hurt. Each story breakdown was described and broken down with such comedic accuracy. These readings of fairy tales by the TESD guys is nothing short of hilarious.

Any additional comments?

This is a must have for any TESD fan. It is also a great gateway for any TESD beginner. Or if you simply want to laugh until you pee your pants for two hours, buy this audiobook.
