The Fox and the Grapes
The Tortoise and the Hare
Androcles and the Lion
The Crow and the Pitcher
The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and many more
How can the Tortoise run faster than the Hare? What happens when the Dog growls at its image? Or when the Country Mouse goes to supper with the Town Mouse? These wonderful stories have delighted adults and children for centuries, with their witty observations on animals and humans too. In the Fox, in the Crow, in the Lion, in the Ass who puts on a wolf's skin, we see humankind with all its foibles.
The stories are told with the enduring magic of a master storyteller, and set against the bright sounds of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and other concertos.
| Audio books really are a wonderful thing, not only do they transport you to other worlds, introduce you to other people’s ideas and culture, they are also a lot more flexible than books. The book drains your time in a world where time is a very valuable thing, in mp3or wma format however; stories can be listened to anywhere and on any music device. It doesn’t matter if you use an mp3 players or a cd player, whether you are jogging, washing the pots or transforming the boring commute to work with excitement and intrigue and you can listen to them at any time. Now with the internet audiobooks are a lot more accessible and easier to obtain than normal books, going online for them is quick, simple and saves time that would be other wise spend trawling through stores trying to find one you really want. Many sites offer a few free downloadable introductory titles, to get you started and no doubt hooked on the splendour of them. What better way to spend a Saturday evening than to sit back, relax and enjoy a good audiobook, instead of renting a dvd or stagnating in front of the television. Unlike rentals, they can be kept for life and enjoyed again and again. Many people who are interested in arts and drama and wish to read a piece of classic literature or a Shakespeare play rent a library book or buy one from the shop. Shakespeare wrote some truly magnificent plays and what better way to make the play alive and a much more enjoyable experience than to listen to them in audio format, performed by talented actors. |
