Listening for a second time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

I’m on my second listen-through of this podcast! The reader’s voice is soothing enough to occasionally help me sleep yet expressive enough to be entertaining. Some of these stories clearly are not for children - in fact one or two had me wide-eyed and ready to turn on the light. But on the whole I have always liked the Grimm fairy tales, and this collection of readings is one of my favorite ways to enjoy them. Hoping more will be added soon!
