Story
Brought to life by Academy Award®-winning actor F. Murray Abraham and an ensemble cast of narrators, and featuring original music by Michael Bacon, this collection contains Hans Christian Andersen’s most beloved fairy tales, as well as a selection of lesser-known favorites. Unlike the Brothers Grimm, who collected and retold folklore and fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen adopted the most ancient literary forms and distilled them into a genre that was uniquely his own. His fairy tales are remarkable for their sense of fantasy, power of description, and vivid imagination.

In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history.

Story
Uniting universal themes with a wonderfully personal vision of the world, Hans Christian Andersen found magic in the landscape of childhood. His talking animals and living toys shine a sparkling light on the strange wisdom of innocence and the deceptive nature of adulthood. These stories have now been adapted into countless classic films (including The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, and Frozen - which was based on “The Snow Queen”) and have become part of our everyday speech, such as when we talk about “ugly ducklings” and “the emperor’s new clothes.”

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.

This story
The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson was written and told as a gentle reminder of true love, sacrifice and hope. The imagery captivated my mind and touched my emotions. A romance “novel” of time past yet exists somewhere today.

I love this narration!
I like the little mermaid, and I am like the little mermaid. The patriarchy is the system that dictates that women's only path to socioeconomic status and security is through the gauntlet of blows delivered by men's secret societies.
In nature, human females have intrinsic socioeconomic status while the status of individual human males rises and falls according primarily to women's public opinions. The feminine form follows the function of a politician, while the masculine form follows the function of an executive officer. The feminine are gifted strategic planners, while the masculine are gifted tactical planners. The feminine are territorial, which is good for geographically bounded political problem solving. The masculine are gregarious and team oriented, which is good for goal oriented project planning and execution.
