The Little Mermaid read by Anne-Marie Duff: A beautiful mermaid falls in love with a prince.

The Fir Tree read by David Tennant: A little fir tree is desperate to grow up and be like the other trees in the forest.

We all know the stories. The Little Fir tree stands out - David Tennant's narration has a magical ... haunting quality. The rest are also beautifully narrated. Definitely a "must listen" for children (and any adult who still has a child hidden somewhere in him/her).

It's David Tennant and the rest!
