About this listen

 Dive into one of the oldest written collections of fairy tales, where familiar tales take on a darker twist. While you may recognize the essence of these stories as the foundation for modern fairy tales, be prepared for a more intense and graphic experience than the sanitized Disney versions. Parents are encouraged to listen first to assess the appropriateness for their children. (written by Joy Chan)Copyright Legends & Fairy Tales Art Literary History & Criticism
