A fun collection of wintery tales! I loved “Three Blind Mice” especially.
Great narrator. Listened to this whole diamond painting and I really enjoyed the different stories.
It would have been a great idea to read this before the holidays, but oh, well, at least I did get some snow to put me in the holiday spirit.
I especially liked the first story, and slowly lost interest along the way, but I still enjoyed it, it's just that I wasn't in the mood for such a lenghthy audiobook at this time. Still, I really liked it and completed it.
I really have to say that the narrator, Fenella Woolgar, was amazing, loved the way she accurately narrated each character, it was delightful.
