Nice to hear the fairytales as originally written

Narration was done well. Clear and consistent with good tone and modulation for all of the stories

Fantastic

All of the stories are so fun, and the narrator is wonderful to listen to. She brings a child-like wonder to each tale.

So Fun

Wonder Tales by Elizabeth Klett was a fun book to listen to.  I love that this included fairy tales that I hadn’t heard of before this book.  Even the stories that I had of before I hadn’t read the story, I learned more as I listened to this book.  I also love that each of the stories was a different chapter, so if I had heard that fairy tale before, I could just skip it and move on to the next story.  I also loved that the fairy tales were grouped by topic.  I enjoyed the narrator of these stories, and I will surely listen to other books that she had narrated in the future.  The narrator was able to change her voice enough that I never got confused about who was talking.  I also loved that these stories aren’t sugar-coated and that they are meant for adults.  I know that most fairy tales were written for adults.   It was nice to see the differences between the Disney movies and the original stories.  More than once, I was shocked to listen to the real story and compare it to what I learned when I was a child.  If you are looking for something different to listen to, I would pick up a copy of this audiobook because I am sure you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Nostalgia

Remembering the stories of my own childhood fondly, I thought it would be fun to listen again. There were only a few new to me, but all were excellent versions. I would recommend this to any parent for their child or to anyone who wants to relive their own childhood! Enjoy!

That's not how Disney told it!

It's interesting how the stories we were brought up with and the positive morals we were supposed to take away from them can be so different from the originals.
