Dont be fooled by the cover!
A very short, very adapted version of Aladdin! our son was in the play recently and wanted to listen to the story. It was so short and chopped out huge chunks of the storyline! Not worth a credit or the cash!

not what you expect
the stories where different to the ones portrayed in films, most likely these are the original versions of each story, but the where great to listen too.

Listened to it about 100 times.
I listen to this every night when I go to sleep, and Steven Mangan' s voice is just so perfect for the first story ,Aladdin. I've listened to it so many times I nearly memerized it!

very traditional sexist stories
I understand stories like this have been around for a long time, but they are very outdated and so terribly sexist. Women are just possessions. They are better versions.

A excellent selection of story’s for the short drive to school
Nice bit size stories that we enjoyed on the way to school.
Normally the girls are loud and noisy, but we’re quick to be quite so they could listen to the stories
