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.
