Critic reviews

"Opening with Katherine Kellgren's stately, measured reading of 'Rapunzel,' this collection presents these tales in all of their original, macabre splendor.... From Jim Dale's fully voiced reading of 'Rumpelstiltskin' to Kate Rudd's formal narration of 'Little Snow-White' and Dion Graham's lightly accented rendition of 'The Twelve Huntsmen,' these are stellar performances."

These guys were Stephen King before Stephen King was Stephen King. Dark compared to the Disney/Modern versions I learned as a kid.

These are the Disney stories you know and love - but these originals are so much more brutal and satisfying than any children's book. This is a must have.

Wonderful and wicked
