Amazon Customer said Five Stars. Exactly as described. "Magic hear" according to Zeno. Bravo to Naxos for recording these tales in their original, unvarnished form.

If you only need one fairy tales CD, get the Andersen's set, also from the same publisher. See my review there.. CD set as well as the Andersen's tales one.

A certain king had a beautiful garden, and in the garden stood a tree which bore golden apples. Then the second son was ordered to watch; and at midnight he too fell asleep, and in the morning another apple was gone
