Saw this on the shelf at my library yesterday when I was browsing the audiobook selection, and used my 欧宝娱乐 barcode app to scan it in from when I listened to it several months ago. I mostly enjoyed this, although I didn't love all the stories and I kept falling asleep on others as I listened (a hazard associated with listening to audiobooks at bedtime). Listening to 'The Little Mermaid' brought back that sense of sadness and poignancy of reading this much-loved story as a child. There are o ...more

Antes ya hab铆a le铆do algunos de los cuentos de Hans Christian Andersen, c贸mo no hacerlo, si son cl谩sicos entre los cl谩sicos. Pero las versiones que vienen en este libro no las hab铆a le铆do antes.

Despu茅s de tantas traducciones, adaptaciones y versiones... los cuentos que le铆 se hab铆an perdido un poco. Como ejemplo m谩s claro pongo el cuento de La Sirenita, que si bien ya conoc铆a que conten铆a un final tr谩gico, nunca llegu茅 a imaginar el final original que Andersen le dio.
