Complete Brothers Grimm, translated by Margaret Hunt
A hard-working girl drops her shuttle into the well while spinning. She jumps in after it and wakes up in a meadow in another world. An old woman with very large teeth lives there: when she shakes her feather beds, it snows down here. Unabridged, with a full cast, music and sound effects.
Complete Brothers Grimm, translated by Margaret Hunt
The old goat has to go into the forest and warns her seven kids about the wolf: they will know him by his rough voice and his black feet. But the wolf is clever. A tale to hold your breath for, unabridged, with a full cast, music and sound effects.
Complete Brothers Grimm, translated by Margaret Hunt
A miller boasts to the King that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Now she sits in a room full of straw and weeps, until a little man comes in. He helps her, but not for nothing. The tale of the name nobody knows, unabridged, with a full cast, music and sound effects.
Complete Brothers Grimm, translated by Margaret Hunt
A princess loses her golden ball in a well, and a frog brings it back up for her. But in return he wants to be her playmate, eat from her little golden plate and sleep in her little bed. The first tale of the Grimms' collection, unabridged, with a full cast, music and sound effects.
We read the whole text as it was printed, with nothing cut and nothing retold, in translations old enough to belong to everyone.
We cast every role and set its tone and pauses. We listen to the recording and have lines spoken again until they are right.
Every story has its own specially composed title music. Sound effects, from a drip in the well to the coach, make the scenes come alive: an audio drama to get lost in.
The whole text is there, in time with the recording, and the printed text of the old translation paragraph by paragraph.
