Enjoyable Content Poor Execution

The stories themselves were typical fairytales and it’s always interesting to see that different cultures are so similar. The writing itself was mediocre but my real disappointment was the narration. The voice actress has a very pleasant voice and I was enjoying it up until the first mispronounced word. There are dozens of words that were mispronounced and unfortunately many of them were in more than one story. I gave up after bedraggled became BED-raggeled.
