Critic reviews
"Gavin's assured, velvety voice is a good match for this adaptation of an anthology first published in 1917....Gavin's consistent, even-keeled delivery make this a good choice for bedtime and quiet time, for listeners both young and older." ( Publishers Weekly)
"What a treat to have a compendium of the greats of folk literature from the European tradition narrated by Marguerite Gavin, who evokes memories of one's own mother reading the stories by one's bedside. Her steady, soothing voice navigates the familiar...and treasured, but less well-known, tales." ( AudioFile)

Quick read
The narrator reads so quickly like she's in a rush to get done Really ruined it for me some of these more stories deserve better than that

Very good with lots of original stories
At first the narrator's voice sounds a little monotone. Stick with it though and you soon get used to this and really start to enjoy the great stories, of which there are so many. Best of all many of them are quite unusual, and not the sort of thing that turns up time and again in children's books. Recommended listening.

Dreadfully American
Could Audible please warn us if they use American voices? It is most off putting, grating and patronising.

Dreadful.
Dreadful. So negative, anti female, teaches children that they have no right to consent. Particularly girls. Not suitable for children of we want to keep them safe. All the wrong messages!
