I love the stories!

I have always loved this story of the Golden Goose! I wanted to reread it for it had been many years since I've read it and I very much enjoyed it . I also enjoyed the story of the three Bears and three little pigs and Tom Thumb was included in this book . All of the stories were somewhat different from the versions I had read before but they were quite good . I recommend this book to those two like fairytales.

Looky, looky

Tom Thumb - a very cute retelling of an old favorite

I purchased this title as a gift for a little boy. I believe that anyone who wishes to reread

this tale or share it with a child will happily turn the pages, enjoying beautifully created

illustrations during the retelling of this old favorite story.

Super illustrations

You cannot beat a RICHARD JESSE WATSON illustrated book. His are the best and draw the children into the pictures for lots of side-line story telling.

Title: The Twelve Pound Look

Author: James M. Barrie

Narrator: Christine Rendel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 42 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-01-14

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

The 12 Pound Look by James M Barrie read by Christine Rendel, a biting comic satire depicting man's overblown pride. It is that day in your career when everything went wrong just when everything seemed to be superlatively right. Harry Sims' preparations to receive a knighthood are disrupted by an unexpected arrival. But who is she? From the author of Peter Pan comes a grown-up comedy with a feminist slant which reveals Barrie's sharp wit and keen sense of social satire.

Members Reviews:

Great, great one-act play

Truly one of the more important plays. Period. Too timely to believe. I saw it last year and have been buying copies for my friends since.

Woman rejects the cult of success in favor of real friendships--and in favor of independence--all of it couldn't be more relevant. It is also a small work of perfection. If I taught playwriting, I'd have this on the syllabus for sure. It's completely readable and also spell-binding on stage, funny, rueful, full of surprises.

J.M. Barrie is a feminist trailblazer with this story!

In 1914 a man (yes a man) gives wives permission to look for justification and a life outside of their home and away from their husband! Barrie responds to Ibsen's DOLL'S HOUSE with penache and humor! A terrific read!

Members Reviews:

An interesting tale!

Again this is not my normal type of audiobook story. I received a free audio copy to review for the narrator and I think the narrator did a really good job!

There was a lot of intrigue in the story and both that and the way the narrator preformed the story kept me going!

I received this audiobook in return for an honest review

I really enjoyed this and I think the narrator did a really good job! I'd defo listen to more of his work.

Title: Oliver Goldsmith (1730 - 1774)

Author: Oliver Goldsmith

Narrator: Neville Jason

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-04-13

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

This is an essay from the Favorite Essays collection.

Here, in this unusual collection, are some of the greatest essays in Western literature. Witty, informative and imaginative, the topics vary from starvation in Ireland, fine China, the extension of railways in the Lake District, and the tombs in Westminster Abbey. A little like after-dinner monologues, they are passing thoughts expressed as journalism. Neville Jason reads with urbane clarity.

Editorial Reviews:

Neville Jason performs a series of short, famous essays that are perfect to fill those spare 10 or 20 minutes with musings from our world's greatest thinkers. In this audio essay, Jason performs Oliver Goldsmith's essay from 1760, "On National Prejudices". Goldsmith, author of the play She Stoops to Conquer, harps on the ridiculousness of unquestioned nationalism, bemoaning how even England's most educated gentlemen do not feel as citizens of the world. Jason's clear enunciation and deliberate pacing make Goldsmith's antiquated syntax approachable for modern audiences. Meanwhile, Jason gets Goldsmith's grandiose, if not arrogant, tone spot-on.
