  • Summary

  • Make sure the kids aren’t around! Just because you’re a grown-up doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the art of the children’s bedtime story. Nick Offerman presents this collection of 15 short stories written in the style of a classic kid’s tale, but with a decidedly dark and adult approach. 

    What really happened after Snow White died, from the perspective of the one medically trained dwarf? A naive wizard professor reports back from the trenches of an underprivileged school of magic. A middle age man is haunted by the voices of his own aging body. 

    The stories will make you laugh, cry and probably squirm a little. All performed by actors like Patrick Stewart, Alia Shawkat, Ellen Page, Mike Birbiglia, and many more.

Weird and Wonderful

Loved this series, Nick Offerman is incredible as expected although I would have loved to hear more from him. I particularly loved Alia Shawkat, Aparna Nancherla and Rachel Dratch's stories. Great little snippets to listen to on the morning commute which will make you chuckle.

Satire for the mature person.

These stories are funny but also slightly revolting and definitely for those of us who have experienced the disappointments of life. The reward for experience is to laugh at life. You get that here.

struggled to get past the first story. Found the story uninteresting and narration boring.

Glad I got it free!

Francine the Frog story was ok, but the second story was terrible.
Haven't listened to the rest.

Not as good as the first

I guess I'm not the target audience for this; not a skirt or chuckle out smoke did it get. Oh well.
