write the name of the stories as chapter headings!

the narration has coughing during the reading that hasn't been edited out! that's certainly the first time I've heard that in a professional product! and honestly. a giant book of fairy tales and you don't name the chapters? a little effort would have gone a a long way to being a usable book. instead, every chapter is a random story with no way to navigate the book. poor effort.

Grisly old fashioned tales

Got this for bedtime stories. Couldn't listen to this without terrorising my 5 year old. Characters chopping up their step-children and eating them etc. I know this is how these tales were originally told, and I'm not looking for the syrupy disneyfied version but this was a step too far with no warning!

Bad stories

The stories are very dark, bringing in death and killing. Not very appropriate for children.

The reader read quick and without much character too.

Terrible Audio

Narrator coughs numerous times, pages can be heard being turned, words, sentences, paragraphs and even entire chapters are repeated (nice way for the narrators to get extra money for their bad work by making the audio longer than needed!) The apparent 50 stories is actually only about 10 stories written in different ways. Jack and the beanstalk was in there at least four times with just a slight change of title and reworded. Also many of the stories are close to the original Brothers Grimm and very gory and not suitable for children.
