“The whole castle was wide awake, and everything was moving once more…” Fairy tales have never ceased to spark the imagination, and beyond fueling creativity, the timeless stories included in The Fairy Reader also teach such valuable lessons as contentment, patience, gentleness and respect. Adapted for young children, these fairytales from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, bring the magical delight of lively narration to such classics as “The Ugly Duckling” and “Briar Rose” to a whole new generation of readers.
