I listened on Audible. First off, I loved the stories, some a little more than others, and most of the narration was 5 stars. The music was fantastic, but it is so much louder than the stories that you should be ready to adjust your headphones if that's how you're listening.
I would recommend these stories to anyone who likes folktales. They come from many African countries. I'm an adult, but I would also enjoy these with my grandkids, even the one who would claim to be too old.
I'm thankful for the PDF with all the pictures and credits - great illustrations! If you are borrowing from the library or buying from any source, please check for the PDF! This is also in print. It was produced to raise money for children orphaned and impacted by HIV/AIDS in South Africa. I'm glad to have this!
