complinguophile's review against another edition
After listening to a few stories for the last few days, I couldn’t push myself anymore to go on. I found out that I unfortunately never liked these kind of books, but the delicate sweet taste of little drops of memories of my childhood in them. It’s not these stories that I like; it’s just that I missed those days, now trying to seek and retrieve it through these books... Alas! Not only did I not enjoy the stories as an adult, but I wondered how superficial and sometimes idiotic could they be! If only I could go back in time and meet the child-version of myself, I’d strongly recommend her not to devote her time to it, but to stick more to those anthropology books of hers!
P.S. Apart from the content, I listened to the audiobook narrated by Bob Neufeld on LibriVox app. & he had the most perfect & comforting & suitable grandpa voice for such stories. That was the only reason I could make it through for about half an hour & didn’t give up sooner on the book.

los leía de pequeña y tengo que admitir que algunos me dejaron traumada, pero amé la mayoría y me sirvieron para un trabajo en el colegio

I really enjoyed the collection, especially the extra information at the end of each story. I wish I had taken more time to really read and enjoy the stories, rather than racing through them like I did. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an introduction to fairy tales.

Wordless is the best praise, you know. To stand, wordless -- the sign of joy and wonder. But in this case, certainly wonder. Fairy tales are like that; but this collection and translation in particular is keen as keen, and as inundating as the first fairy stories I fell into when I was quite a bit smaller.
