This is a story from the Grimms' Fairy Tales 2 collection.
Jacob and Wilhelm's first book of fairy tales, Children's and Household Tales, published in 1812, included 86 folktales and was an instant success. Shortly thereafter, the brothers incorporated 70 more stories in their next volume of Grimms' Fairy Tales. This continued for six more editions! The complete collection contains over 200 stories, and is probably the best-known work of German literature.
Filled with fantasy, magic, and talking animals, these enchanting tales for children often teach a lesson about moral values, and right from wrong. Reader Laura Paton's warmth and flair for characters, paired with bright and exciting classical music, results in a memorable production that younger listeners will enjoy again and again.
In this title you will find The Wolf and the Seven Little Kids, The Pack of Ragamuffins, Brother and Sister, The Three Snake-Leaves, The Boots of Buffalo-Leather, The Drummer, The Three Spinners, Old Rinkrank, The Grave Mound, The Master Thief, The Hare and the Hedgehog, The Little Folks' Presents, Master Cobbler's Awl, and The Three Sluggards.

A lazy spinner gets mistaken for an industrious one and, as such, has the opportunity of a lifetime: spin enough flax and earn the prince's hand in marriage. Luckily, this lazy spinner keeps promises better than she spins, so her story works out happily ever after. Laura Paton performs without over-the-top bells and whistles. She lets her classic voice, with its sharp diction and smooth rhythm, carry the production. Still, she shows her silly side when it comes to the colorful characters. In her hands, the deformed spinners' brogue and the fancy bridegroom's pomp come alive. At just over five minutes, this upbeat, light story makes bedtime fun.
