Critic reviews
"Opening with Katherine Kellgren's stately, measured reading of 'Rapunzel,' this collection presents these tales in all of their original, macabre splendor.... From Jim Dale's fully voiced reading of 'Rumpelstiltskin' to Kate Rudd's formal narration of 'Little Snow-White' and Dion Graham's lightly accented rendition of 'The Twelve Huntsmen,' these are stellar performances."

Delightful Listen
This was a fun, entertaining listen through these classic tales. Had never ‘read’ Grimm before but thoroughly enjoyed this collection…

good but not unabridged as stated
Not bad but it is frustrating when they are billed as unabridged and this isnt. I was listening alongside reading the original stories at the same time for my MA creative writing course and the two dont match up. Lots of altered sentences and the way words are spoken from the original.
