 Andersen's Fairy Tales 1 - Not For Every Child! May 31, 2006
42 out of 45 found this review helpful
Two stories are truly gruesome and VERY violent. Not prince overthrowing dragon in woods to save princess, gruesome and violent. I mean creeping envy, revenge and sadistic murder of an elderly lady and a young boy (amongst other things)!
DEFINITELY NOT for all children by any means. Just had to add this review so more critical (discerning?) parents could be warned if needed.
The remaining stories are great. However, The Little Match Girl is very, very sad! But, so true to how some children today must struggle while those with far more than they need walk by. A deeply poignant tale.
We were very disappointed BUT only with the two rotten ones. I've recorded the fabulous ones and chucked the discs away. Erica Johns reads beautifully. Crystal clear cheeky sounding voice. Smashing.
This double disc set contains readings of The Emperor's New Clothes (excellent!), The Tinderbox (not okay with us), the Travelling Companion, The Ugly Duckling, The Little Match Girl (sob, sob), The Swineherd and Big Claus and Little Claus (Very disturbing!).
 Good old fashioned fairy stories, read with panache!! July 27, 2001

The characterisation of human and animals personalities is finely crafted, and has immediate appeal. Thoroughly recommended, particularly for 7-9 year olds.
