Story
Aesop, an ancient Greek poet who was sold into slavery in the early sixth century B.C, relied on animal stories to convey his key points to his masters in court. Aesop's Fables are now classic, memorable morality plays in which amusing animal characters drive home thought-provoking morals to generations of listeners and modern day readers. They illustrate what was fundamental to Greek culture yet their appeal lies in logic we still understand.

Story
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel", "Hansel and Gretel", and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

Edited and curated poorly
Let me start by saying this. I grew up on Highlights and much like the magazine the stories that I could bare to listen to were very enduring. Each narrator brought very special reads to each story and my favorite one was Clever Hoja, Foolish Hoja (chapter 9). With that being said, the inconsistency in audio quality make it very difficult to sit through. Lost of narrators have canned and tiny audio that hurt my ears when listening with head phones on; and a few sounded as if they were cheap AI narrators.
I don’t know what the process was in curating and engineering these audiobooks but I wish they would have kept with a consistent sound or at the very least done a quality test with headphones to really listen to each story. I don’t know if it’s a thing but it kind of threw my inner ear off and made me sea sick with the inconsistency and audio readjusting.
In short, I couldn’t finish this due to poor audio engineering.
