I just love the color fairy book series!

This is one of the best in Andrew Lang collection. Not all but several of the stories are enjoyed enough to be read and reread. Rubezahl and WaliDad are favorites though you may find other gems not commonly known tales to ponder and retell. Readers were all exceptional, with soothing tone, steady cadence and clear enunciation. I’ll come back to this book again. You should definitely give it a listen.
