Story4 out of 5 stars 8
In the fairy tale realm of Arilland, stories are told at children's bedsides - and not the stories you think you know. Tales of Arilland is a collection of fairy tales, presented in the magical topsy-turvy way that only Alethea Kontis can do. Discover the story of Bluebeard's first wife ("Blood From Stone"), what really happened to Snow White in those dark woods ("The Unicorn Hunter"), how dangerous the Little Mermaid might have been ("Blood and Water"), and just how far Little Red Riding Hood was willing to go ("Hero Worship").

What made the experience of listening to Tales of Arilland the most enjoyable?
The writing of course... the stories were different and brilliant. And Gabrielle. OH MY WORD. I'd listen to her read the book of Numbers
Have you listened to any of Gabrielle Baker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
It's possible but I'm not sure.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did listen to it all in one setting. =0)
Any additional comments?
What do you get when you mix the dreamy voice of Gabrielle Baker and the Brilliant quit witted and amusing writings of Alethea Kontis? THIS.. this Audio book. This is a MUST read/listen. I am an Audio Book Judge and have been for 12 plus years and I know good quality Audio books.. and this is one to add to your collection.
A wonderful take on Fairy Tales, these are NOT the tales from your childhood, but deeper darker tales to tell for more mature readers.
