Librivox recording of Fairy Tales by the Brother Grimm.

A classic collection of oral German folklore, brought together for posterity by the scholarly brothers Grimm in the 1800s, this epitome of fairy tales includes many of the world's best known stories. In these dark foreboding woods, you will find: Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Lily and the Lion (better known as Beauty and the Beast), and Snow White and Rose Red, among other timeless works. These tales were later heavily revised and sanitised, but here are presented closer to their grim and beloved originals. (Summary by Marlo Dianne)

I have always loved these fairy tales. The actual orginal fairy tales. The first cautionary tales of danger and courge and bravery. But also the real life truth in gentler way for better understanding of the world's youth. These stories really stick with kids, or they use to before the smartphones and tablets took over. Thank u, I enjoyed it. I love this site, i am so glad you had this idea.

The first one was cut off before the end... all and all it was a good reading but the strange creepy voice on Hans in Luck is.... creepy.
