I'm not rating this because of how hit-or-miss the stories were. Overall, it was a fun listen while I waited for my holds to come through.

I liked how close the retellings were, but at some points they were a little boring. I do wish I didn't stretch out the read so long, but ttpd came out so naturally that took my focus for a few days. 

Favourite short story: Peter Pan
Skipped: Bluebeard

Found it to be somewhat boring and almost repetitive.
