A path to happiness is lost. . . . then found again.

absolute gorgeous stories

I loved the twists to every story but hands down the best was Peter Pan. That was just a heart break and I would have read a full book on that story alone.

Good read

This is a very interesting twist on our well known tales! I would love to hear more.

The Book & the Narrator

I absolutely loved the story! The narrator really made it come alive! -no music, no sound effects, just absolutely outstanding narration!

These Stories were perfect!

I loved these story but Peter Pan was by far my top favorite story, I wasn’t expecting it to be heartbreaking.

Wow

The different telling of fairy tales is so imaginative and fresh. The narrator makes them even better. Stories flow into one another in an unexpected way. Looking forward to more from this author and narrator.
