Revue de presse :

Perfect for listening at bedtime. A refreshing changer from some of today's stories proving that recipe for beginning (once upon a time) and ending (happily every after) still enchants today's sophisticated youngsters. (CAROUSEL)

A collection of well-known fairy tales that young and old will never tire of hearing (Kim Bunce THE OBSERVER)

'Original stories are told by the fairies themselves. The two girls who tested this out for me were both captivated' (Vidar Hjardeng DISABILITY TIMES)
