Summary: Beutiful stories terribly translated
Comment: I remember reading and hearing many stories from this book when I was a child and they made quite an impression. This particular translation however leaves a lot to be desired. It seems that some parts were translated word for word and much of the text makes no sense at all.

Rating: 2
Summary: no music at all, despite the cover says so.
Comment: It is a bit disappointing that an audio book that is sold as a combination of music and classic literature for children has not music at all.
well it has some music, a short intro at the beginning of each story. that's it. No sounds, no effects, no music...only the voice of the narrator. The narrator is very good, and the stories from Cinderella to Little Red Riding Hood are interesting and attractive for children. But the simple voice of the narrator is not enough to keep children between 3 and 4 interested in stories longer than 10 minutes (all but few are longer than 10 min.). Perfect would be 5 minutes for that age range (3 or 4).
Another drawback is the fact that the CDs do not go with a book, so you need to buy a book for each story with pictures suitable for children of 3 or 4. Of course,less problematic are those issues for older children.

Summary: An Old Family Favorite
Comment: I remember having these Fairy Tales read to me at bedtime when I was little. I bought the same book to read to my son. The stories are bit anachronistic and may not meet modern standards of being politically correct, but we love them anyway.
