Saw this as I was browsing the Audible Plus collection. These timeless tales for kids young and old have delighted and enchanted me over the years. I was delighted with the performances and usually choose one of these to fall asleep to if I'm struggling to drift off. These tales however are very and I do mean very heavily abridged. You can find these as solo downloads elsewhere, so if there's a tale you particularly want to read then please feel free to get the unabridged version and read them as the author intended.

Brilliant for bedtime but not much else!
