Brilliant

Loved listening to this book. I enjoy listening to these stories at bedtime as a kid and enjoyed them even more now.

3 and a half really

Some stories are okay, but some are pretty horrible, and some start good, but they end horribly. Still, an entertaining read.

A Great Book for Folklore Addicts

Okay, I will give you the downside first:
The narrator is somewhat lack-luster, and stories are told without the kind of finesse that readers of modern fiction have come to expect.

However, the books provide a great study of German folklore, and make for entertaining listening, if you can imagine yourself sitting at a 19th century fireside listening to a beloved grandparent tell the tales.

Enjoyable stories

This audiobook has many stories that we have heard some time or read in any old book. It's a pleasure listening to that and go back to our childhood.

Classic Fairytales

I have always enjoyed Grimm's Fairytales and this was not exempt. I did not care for the narration though.
