Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Welsh Fairy Tales
Faye Saxeby · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Angharad Rees
58/100
👎 Skip It
These seven tales pull from genuine Welsh sources like the Mabinogion, which gives it more cultural grounding than a generic fairy-tale grab-bag, and having a native Welsh actress narrate is a nice authentic touch. It's still an abridged, lightly-reviewed release, though, so go in expecting a pleasant but unremarkable listen.

🎙 Narration: good Publisher describes Angharad Rees's reading as 'enchantingly warm'; no independent critical review exists to corroborate that beyond marketing copy.
