The New York Times Book Review - A. J. Jacobs
…Colfer…is a wizard at voices…[He] has cleaned up the tales a bit. In terms of rawness, they fall somewhere between the Grimm and Disney versions…But even when softened and redacted, listening to fairy tales can be demented, disturbing fun.

New York Times Book Review
Colfer—an actor most famous for playing a countertenor teenager on Glee—is a wizard at voices. In ‘Henny Penny,’ he gives distinct, birdlike cadences to a duck, a goose, hen, rooster, and a turkey. His yawn from ‘Goldilocks’ was convincing enough to make me yawn in the driver’s seat.”
Family Circle
A magical debut.
