Brothers Grimm (Audible.com)

I've been listening to an audiobook from Audible.com which contains the tales of the Brothers Grimm in the Margaret Hunt translation; the reading is by Kelly Lintz. The reader is very lively, which is good, but her accents are just all over the place and while I appreciate the variety of voices she uses, some of her "funny voices" actually distract from the story itself. Overall, I am glad to be listening to the recording - but I would rate it as just average.

Meanwhile, there is a selection of Grimm tales with various readers at LibriVox, with 62 stories from the Taylor/Edwardes translation. (Meanwhile, there are also LibriVox recordings of the tales in German!)
