DREAM TIME FAIRY TALES VOLUME III Little Red Riding Hood, Tom Thumb, The Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs

"You are now entering the imaginative world of Ziggurat Productions," listeners hear at the beginning of each classic fairy tale. The world includes lots of mysterious-sounding music and sound effects; in addition to the two storytellers acting out the parts, the production provides an "audio illustration" of nearly every sound, an effect that is slightly tiresome for some adult listeners. But these ARE classic tales, and children love them, even if some adults may question whether leaving room for imagining noises might work equally well.
