great for adults
this collection was amazing to listen to, I highly recommend it to anyone who loved the brothers grimm as a child or anyone who feels their imagination wavering as an adult. it's quite scary though and I would NOT recomend to anyone who is thinking of buying it for a young audience

Delivery off putting :(
I am sad to say I could not even get through the first chapter due to the narrators odd and stilted delivery.

Great stories, unlistenable-to narrator
The stories here are the less-travelled of fairy tales and I was very much looking forward to listening to them. Unfortunately, the narrator's overly engineered inflections made it impossible to listen to. I persevered, but in the end, returned this book.
