"A breathtaking epic, the award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy spans a multitude of worlds. The second instalment, The Subtle Knife, introduces Will Parry – a young boy in search of his long-lost explorer father. Will’s discovery of an extraordinary ‘window in the air’ near the Oxford ring road leads him out of our world and into the strange and unsettling Cittàgazze. There he meets Lyra, a girl who is herself searching for something: the secret of the mystical substance Dust. Moving back and forth through the portal, Will and Lyra join forces in their quest. As they make allies and enemies along the way, they also learn of the subtle knife. An object which many would kill to possess, the knife has incredible powers, and Will finds himself reluctantly in a fight for its possession. Ray Fearon, Emma Fielding, Peter Marinker and Jack Klaff are amongst the cast in this gripping dramatisation."

Leaping Beauty

"Who better to wreak havoc with eight beloved fairy tales than Gregory Maguire, the brilliant, funny, and nationally best-selling author of the adult novel Wicked as well as the hilarious middle-grade series The Hamlet Chronicles. Zany animals of all species run through these fractured tales with alarming speed and dexterity. Who would have thought that the ageless, exquisite Cinderella could be recast as the silly story of an enormous yet lovable elephant who plods along to the ball with glass pie plates on her feet; or that Sleeping Beauty, that most regal of all fairy tales, could be twisted into the story of a frog with a most unusual and promising dance career? Get ready to meet a gorilla queen and a psycho chimp, seven giant giraffes, and one very bad walrus."

[Spanish] - Pinocho

"El títere que quería se niño. Uno de los personajes inmortales de la literatura infantil ha sido el muñeco de madera Pinocho, cuyo creador, el italiano Carlo Collodi fue un distinguido representante del romanticismo del siglo XIX, que se distingue por su carácter moralista y educativo, es recordado únicamente por esa historia infantil que ha sido traducida a todos los idiomas y llevado en varias oportunidades al cine. El distinguido actor Carlos Muñoz, estrella del cine, el teatro y la televisión, ha querido rendir homenaje en esta interpretación a su padre, el inolvidable Muñocito, que fue uno de los pioneros del arte de los titiriteros en América."

Drawn in with them are the three Drew children, who are mortal, but have their own vital part in the story. These six fight fear and death in the darkly brooding Welsh hills, in a quest through time and space that touches the most ancient myths of the British Isles and that brings Susan Cooper's masterful sequence of novels to a satisfying close."

Cinderella, The Frog Prince and Rumplestiltskin

"The traditional Fairy Tales with all the charm and fun of the familiar stories. Cinderella gets her Prince, Rumplestiltskin loses his prize, and the Frog Prince gets his princess. The beloved tales known for so many years and presented in an entertaining and wonderfully appealing way, with a full cast of characters, performed by voice actors. AUTHOR Traditional Traditional folk stories, many called fairy tales, have been recorded by writers since the time the stories were told by oral tradition in various cultures. COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Cinderella, The Frog Prince and Rumplestiltskin Alcazar AudioWorks brings a terrific cast of character voices together to produce a most whimsical hour (64 minutes) of three favorite stories: Cinderella, Rumplestiltskin, and The Frog Prince. The fabulous voices bring the characters to life in a most extraordinary way. The actors include Johnnie Anderson, Al Bedrosian, Bruce Blau, Paul Coyle, Bobbie Frohman, John Lavette, Susan McCarthy, Linda Montogomery, David Thorn, Larry Smith and Roger Vosburg. Each voice allows the imagination to run wild with visions of princes, frogs, princesses, and fairies. You'll sympathize with Cinderella and cheer for her as the stepsisters realize how horrible they've been to their future queen! Rumplestiltskin is truly a repulsive little imp who takes advantage of the miller's daughter in her hour of need, but he gets his when a messenger finds his secret place and tells the Queen his unusual name. The selfish princess learns a valuable lesson when the king insists that she keep her word. She must allow the frog to share her dinner plate and her pillow at night, as she promised. However, all is not so bad when the frog turns into a handsome prince. The classic stories will delight children, parents, and grandparents alike. Easily these stories can accompany drawing lessons, change a rainy day into imagination day or take the tedium out of car-travel and make the ride fun.
