The Brothers Grimm & Wilhem Grimm · 2011
🎙 Narrated by Flo Gibson
67/100
👎 Skip It
These are the real, unsanitized Grimm animal tales - 'The Six Swans,' 'Old Sultan,' 'Snow White and Rose Red' - with more bite than the Disney versions, so it's better suited to slightly older kids who can handle real stakes and consequence. Flo Gibson's classics-honed narration fits the material well and is worth the listen, though I'd preview a story or two before handing it to a sensitive young listener.
