About this listen
Arthur Quiller-Couch had this to say regarding his translation of these tales: "My own share in this volume is, perhaps, less easily defended. I began by translating Perrault's tales, very nearly word for word; because to me his style has always seemed nearly perfect for its purpose; and the essence of 'style' in writing is propriety to its purpose."

Nice to hear a less Disneyfied version
Lesser-known versions of old favorites, nicely narrated, and thought-provoking as well. Still sexist & misogynistic and far from their origins (read The Heroine With 1001 Faces by Maria Tatar), but for what they are, a nice listen.
