Summary

The Three Billy Goats Gruff and Other Stories is a fun, colourful collection of traditional tales that's a must for younger listeners. From the curiosity of Goldilocks to the resourcefulness of the Three Little Pigs, these stories have been told for generations and are perfect for any young child's audio library. The Three Billy Goats Gruff Take three hungry goats and one even hungrier troll, throw in a rickety bridge and a field where the grass is always greener and you have the all the elements for one of the most popular children’s stories. But these hungry goats know that there’s only one obstacle between them and the lush green grass just over the bridge in the neighbouring field – a grumpy troll who’s prone to gobbling up passersby! So how will the goats get to the other side of the river? Find out in Alan Smith’s re-telling of this traditional story, which comes complete with the troll’s unfortunate wind problem. Little Red Riding Hood (and the Gooseberry Pie) If ever there was a reason not to dally on your way to Grandma’s house, this is it! The classic tale of the little girl in the red cape who’s trying to cheer up her Grandma is brought to life by Alan Smith. Complete with some of the best-known lines in storytelling, we’ll find out why Little Red Riding Hood remarks "Grandma - what big eyes you have" (and other personal observations) in Eileen Smith's adaptation of the story, which ends happily, with a half-eaten gooseberry pie! Goldilocks and the Three Bears When curiosity gets the better of her, Goldilocks ventures into the forest. And that was her first mistake! Not only does she get hopelessly lost, but she has an encounter with three bears that makes her think twice about straying from home again. Alan Smith is the reader of this adaptation of a tale which can be traced back to Robert Southey. Also includes "The Three Little Pigs".

Jack & the Beanstalk and Other Stories

Summary

Jack and the Beanstalk and Other Stories brings together another four of the world's favourite children's fairytales. Written and read with character and fun, this is storytelling at its best! Jack and the Beanstalk Jack and his mum have fallen on hard times but when Jack comes home with a bagful of beans after selling the family cow, Dairy Mary, it’s just the start of one big, magical adventure. A real panto favourite at Christmas, this traditional story, adapted from the original and read by Joanna Pinnock, is full of fun and colour – with lots of purple! Puss in Boots This is the story of a very cunning, imaginative and clever cat. When a miller's son is given a cat by his father he feels a little miffed (after all, his brothers got a working mill and a horse and cart!). But this cat is no ordinary cat and as the story develops the cat's plans to bring fortune to the miller's son unfold. This story from Charles Perrault has been adapted and re-told by Alan Smith. It has all the ingredients needed for a classic fairy tale: magic, a palace, a king, a queen, a princess, a talking animal, and an ogre - who could ask for more?! Hansel and Gretel Good triumphs over evil in this story from the Brothers Grimm. An unkind stepmother tries her best to lose young Hansel and Gretel in the forest, but she reckons without their resourcefulness. A house made of sweets and the strange green woman who lives in it is one of the hiccups along the way, but ultimately all is well in the end. Adapted by Moy McGowan and retaining a very traditional feel, this story is one of light and shade and is read by Kathy Clugston whose soft Irish accent makes the reading particularly engaging. Also includes “Rumpelstiltskin”.
