Children's Bedtime Fairy Tales
Flora Annie Steel, Joseph Jacobs, Brothers Grimm, Andrew Lang & Hans Christian Andersen · 2024
🎙 Narrated by Nicki White and Bart Wolffe
51/100
👎 Skip It
A solid five-author spread of classic folklore, Grimm, Andersen, Jacobs, Lang, and Steel, read warmly by a consistent narrator pairing, which is a good listen for a family bedtime routine. It's part of a large, frequently-retitled catalog from what looks like one production house, though, so I couldn't verify exactly which stories made this particular cut. Fine as a safe, generic fairy-tale pick, but nothing here sets it apart from its many siblings.

🎙 Narration: good Multi-narrator team (Nicki White and Bart Wolffe) reading in a warm, consistent storytelling style typical of this imprint's other compilations.
