Resumen del Editor

Here are some of the finest fairytales from around the world - most of them old favorites: "Sleeping Beauty," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Cinderella," three from "The Arabian Nights," and many more. Andrew Lang was one of the most famous literary critics around 1900. He also edited a series of children's fable books that preserved and illustrated a host of tales which are still used extensively today.

Angele Masters narration

Any additional comments?

While Masters did some very good voices & I loved her Scots accent in the final few tales, there were audible mouth sounds (mostly swallowing sounds) which I found off-putting.

Love it!

I really love this book. I listen to it EVERY NIGHT.. It helps me relax and fall asleep.

The Original Fairy Tales, No Disney Here

Would you listen to The Blue Fairy Book again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to, "The Blue Fairy Book" again. Who can resist the classics AND a great narrator!

What did you like best about this story?

The best thing about, "The Blue Fairy Book" is that it reminds me of the fairy tales that I read in England when I was young. This isn't necessarily the book for children, unless an adult explains it and makes sure the children don't think this is real. I would have read it to my daughter, but not my son. He had nightmares and this would make them worse.

Great collection of fairy tales for the car!

My family has really enjoyed listening to this collection of fairy tales. We have the hard copy of the book as well, but the audio version is very nice when on the way to practice across town. The stories are just long enough to carry us through the drive there (and sometimes back) but not so long that we forget what happened in between takes. Of course each of the kids has their favorite but mine is probably the original Beauty and the Beast. Such a wonderful tale. The readers voice is the right blend of storytelling without being overly dramatic. She doesn't need to be. The stories tell themselves, and the reader is the Steward of them. Do yourself a favor and get this audiobook for your family!

always love stories from around the world

this is wonderful collection and well read I enjoyed listening to it very much 😀

I just cannot listen to the narrator.

I stopped listening the first time after about ten minutes, the character "voices" were grating, so I tried again a few days later,. The narrator's attempts at "voices" might satisfy small children but a straight reading would've been better.

this is on repeat on my player

this is one of the best bedtime stories books that I listen to. The narrator is awesome and the book is on repeat in my player.

My children are spellbound

Where does The Blue Fairy Book rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of the best audiobooks we've listened to. It goes for hours and hours and keeps my young children (6 and 8) spellbound for well over an hour at a time. They love it, and so do I, because they are learning wonderful vocabulary and quality story-telling while they enjoy the exciting stories.

Different

I wasn't really expecting the stories to all be remakes on Classic Fairy Tales.
While the Stories weren't bad, and the Audio nicely done, it didn't appeal to me.
If you enjoy these types of Stories then I believe you'd enjoy this Audio Book.

SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD !!!!!!!!!!!

This is just just just just AMAZING omg SO GOOD FOR SLEEP omg omg amazing...!!!!!
