AMERICAN FAIRY TALES
From Rip Van Winkle to the Rootabaga Stories

Editor: Neil Philip. Preface by Alison Lurie. Narrator: Taylor Mali
 

Audio Reviews:

"Fans of storytelling will relish the opportunity to hear fully voiced renditions...Taylor Mali immediately captures listeners' imaginations with his superb renditions. The overall effect is to provide a better understanding of the fairy tale as an American art form."
                    -School Library Journal

"This wonderfully rich collection of traditional tales features stories from beloved American authors as well as less familiar writers. Taylor Mali dramatizes each tale in a lively, expressive manner that mesmerizes the listener and stimulates the imagination. A high-quality collection for schools and public libraries."
                    - Booklist
 
"The solid preface and afterword will be especially appreciated by students, teachers and historians, but the tales themselves stand alone as genuine entertainment."
                     - Publishers Weekly

SYNOPSIS:

Fairy tales have traditionally been considered a European import, but American writers such as Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne and L.Frank Baum created stories that reflected a progressive and independent spirit that was distinctly American. This production, including tales by twelve authors, proves the American fairy tale is indeed alive and well.
