Though the Brothers Grimm wrote more than 160 fairy tales, only a handful are well-known. Here is a selection of tales which will be new to many, children and parents alike.

There are evil stepmothers, magical transformations, tussles with the Devil, brave drummer soldiers and the continuing battles between the Wolf and the Seven Little Kids. They are read with warmth by Laura Paton, and enhanced with delightful pieces of classical music.
