2021-02-05 11:00:05 ​​Once on a Time
A. A. Milne

5 hours

This version of the book is done as a Dramatic Reading with various people speaking each characters part.

When the King of Barodia receives a pair of seven-league boots as a birthday present, his habit of flying over the King of Euralia's castle during breakfast provokes a series of incidents which escalate into war. While the King of Euralia is away, his daughter Hyacinth tries to rule in his stead and counter the machiavellian ambitions of the king's favourite, the Countess Belvane. Ostensibly a typical fairytale, it tells the story of the war between the kingdoms of Euralia and Barodia and the political shenanigans which take place in Euralia in the king's absence. The book introduces us to a princess who is far from helpless; a prince who, whilst handsome, is also pompous and vain; an enchantment which is almost entirely humorous; a villain who is not entirely villainous and receives no real comeuppance; a good king who isn't always good; an evil king who isn't always evil, and so on. The result is a book which children may not enjoy as much as adults. The book was written by Milne partly for his wife, upon whom the character of the Countess Belvane was partially based.

2021-01-31 11:00:04 ​​The Blue Fairy Book
Andrew Lang

14 hours

Published in 1889, The Blue Fairy Book is the first book in the series of story collections known as Andrew Lang's “Coloured” Fairy Books, which bring to life the classic fairytales by Grimm, Madame d'Aulnoy and Perrault among other folklore sources. Most captivating is the fact that the collection features the stories in pristine an unaltered conditions, therefore they contain a darker side than the polished versions most are familiar with from childhood memories.
Featuring 37 tales, The Blue Fairy Book includes many well-known childhood classics such as “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Cinderella”, “Hansel and Gretel” and many more enchanting tales with a bit more zest than their successors. Not only is Lang’s collection a great awe for children, but it also offers a more action-packed and thrilling journey into enchanted territory where fairies are not necessarily kind, ogres are not who they seem to be, and most importantly not everyone gets a happy ending.
