Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
With considerably more verve than Marguerite Gavin provides on Fifty Famous Fairy Tales (see above), British actor Cribbins reads eight tales from the English tradition. From the brave little tailor who ends up a king (since he can kill "seven with one blow") to "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and "The Three Little Pigs," there's plenty of familiar fare here to please lovers of fairy and folk tales. American listeners may not readily recognize "The History of Dick Whittington," but the dramatic story of a lonely ragamuffin who, with the help of his beloved cat, rises to prominence as a three-term Lord Mayor of London (a fact that is historically documented) quickly proves engaging. Cribbins's enthusiasm for storytelling shines as he nimbly glides from one character voice to another. Typical of all the titles in the Naxos Junior Classics productions, snippets of popular classical music can be heard at dramatic moments and other breaks, as well as in between story selections. Ages 6-up.

Fabulously done,

This review is from: Classic Fairy Stories: Traditional Tales (Classic Literature With Classical Music. Junior Classics) (Audio CD)
A wonderful telling of fabulous stories while remaining true to a rich linguistic tradition. These stories are not dumbed down in the least and the narrator is a pleasure to listen to.
My three and five year old have listened to these stories over and over again! I also read "Dick Whittington and His Cat" (retold by Marcia Brown) to my girls. This combination quickly became a favorite of my three year old. I can't recommend this cd highly enough if you are a fan of well written literature for children.

This is a great narration of some great classic tales. Lots of action and best of all, it keeps to the original stories. Kids love it. Hansel and Gretel is slightly scary but then it always was.

The reader's voice is pleasant to listen to. The stories are charming. Most of them are new to me, but familiar to my husband. Very good stories with a moral taught.
