"Rasmus was a bitter, pessimistic young boy who was nothing like his good and pious mother. Rasmus was with a free spirit and he could not bear living in a small town. So he set on a long, exhausting journey – leaving behind his home, his family and his childhood friend Johanne. Years passed and Rasmus returned. But the old Rasmus’ spirit was not the same. The man was put under a spell. He was either going to be saved or the enchantment was going to kill him. The Old Johanne will tell us how Rasmus’ life went and what happened with him. If you want to find out, read 'What Old Johanne Told' by Hans Christian Andersen. - Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include 'The Emperor's New Clothes', 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Nightingale', 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier', 'The Snow Queen', 'The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Little Match Girl'. His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child nor adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films 'The Little Mermaid' in 1989 and 'Frozen', which is loosely based on 'The Snow Queen', in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day."

Little Red Riding Hood - The Original Story

"The majority of fairy tales read to children these days are so watered down they bear little resemblance to the original folk stories from which they descend. This is particularly true of many tales written - or, perhaps it should be said, collected - by the Brothers Grimm. For those who prefer their children hear the stories as they were told for generations before the days of political correctness, health and safety and Hollywood, Acorn Classics bring you the unadulterated, original tales as written down over a century ago by the Brothers Grimm themselves. In this tale - originally called simply 'Little Red', a hungry wolf gets the better of a young girl and her grandmother - at least to start with..."

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass

"Journey to the imaginative world of Wonderland in this bundle of Alice in Wonderland books. Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass have inspired countless films, plays, and songs in over 150 years of their publication, and these stories continue to capture the imaginations of all generations. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – When Alice’s boring school lessons are interrupted by a white rabbit with a pocketwatch, she starts on an exciting adventure that takes her to the nonsensical and fascinating world of Wonderland. Join Alice as she meets beloved characters like the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Hatter as she tries to find her way home from Wonderland. Through the Looking Glass – The story continues with Alice stepping through a mirror into a world that is a reverse of her own, a world that contains all of the nonsensical things that don’t belong in reality. She once again meets even more fascinating and whimsical characters (such as the famous Tweedledee and Tweedledum), and finds herself in puzzling situations as she puzzles her way out of this world of opposites. This audiobook contains two of Carroll’s most famous poems: “Jabberwocky” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter.'"
