Reviewer: tales - May 30, 2020 Subject: oops evil ideas or how to trick big people, but so many idea tales. |
|
Reviewer: Sudha Thomas - January 30, 2019 Subject: Reading speed and modulation The reading is very fast. Telling a story and voice modulations are a skill. Many readings seem to be missing this. Difficult for children to follow and does not capture attention. |

Reviewer: Nancy - December 31, 2017 Subject: Nice presentation The best readers are for The Fir Tree and the Snow Queen. It really is skill + voice that makes the story come alive. Anderson always breaks the heart with his characters and their sad experiences! I know this will be a resource for my library. |

Reviewer: User - January 26, 2016 Most volunteers need to read more slowly for children's books. Some readers should not be reading at all, since they have little expression. |

Reviewer: Julie - August 8, 2014 Subject: Review This was not an exciting book to listen to but it was nice. Such a different world back then. Narrations were good. |

Reviewer: Roman - February 3, 2014 Subject: Could be better Some of the stories are read better than others with different narrators. When they are read so dull, like some of the stories I would not advice to play it to children, for adults it seems okay when you’re concentrated. About the author I think most of his stories don’t have a happy ending thus the book is quite sad. From all the stories just a few are really good, like the little match girl, emperors new clothes or the fir tree. |

Reviewer: Sheri Chee - October 9, 2013 Subject: Andersen's Fairy Tale The voice is so sad and depressing in chapter 2. I will not let my children listen to this audio. Such an interesting story being told in such a sad and monotonous tone. |
