Old Fashioned Fairy Tales (version 2)
Juliana Horatia Gatty Ewing
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
The title may lead you to think that these are retellings of old familiar fairy tales. Not so at all. These are completely new stories but written in conformity with the way fairy tales are traditionally written and told. You will find ghosts and goblins; knaves and knights; widows and witches in them. But they all give the sense of wonder at the world that fairy tales have given us for ages past. - Summary by Phil Chenevert (3 hr 29 min)
