Fifty famous fairy tales

Kingston, Rosemary. (Added Author). Gavin, Marguerite. (Added Author).

Summary: What a treat to have a compendium of the greats of folk literature from the European tradition narrated by Marguerite Gavin, who evokes memories of one's own mother reading the stories by one's bedside. Gavin adds just the right amount of inflection and variation to bring voice to each character, be it the innocent child, the gruff and rumbly giant, or the calculating innkeeper.
