I just love the color fairy book series!

if you like fairytales

This is one of the best in Andrew Lang collection. Not all but several of the stories are enjoyed enough to be read and reread. Rubezahl and WaliDad are favorites though you may find other gems not commonly known tales to ponder and retell. Readers were all exceptional, with soothing tone, steady cadence and clear enunciation. I’ll come back to this book again. You should definitely give it a listen.

So Awesome!

All of the color fairy books are so great! So sad no more are being written.

I really wanted to like this.

I luv fairies. I was expecting a discourse on brown fairies and their role in legitimizing dick sucking in the BIPOC community. Sadly, this is not the case. Instead, we have a bunch of fairy tales that were stolen from BIPOCs by a white male for the entertainment of other white folks. No hint of gay anal sex. Stories are sending the wrong message to our youth. Pres Biden and Lord Bezos need to write some executive orders to get these stories pulled.

The stories are different but good for the ones I are familiar w

Terrific stories. Some readers are great, and others not so much, but in general it's a wonderful collection.
