I didn't read all the stories as there were a few I didn't like so much. But I enjoyed the rest. Many thanks to the narrator. Her steady reading never failed to put me to sleep. Oh I nearly forgot. The second story stars a hero who was cursed as a baby and turned into an ugly red head. He sets out on an adventure to become tall, dark and handsome again. I'm married to a beautiful red headed man. I better watch out he doesn't head off on any adventures. I wouldn't want to exchange him for some dark stranger.
