Ratings and reviews

This is the best version, why? because it's the unabridged version. I'd wasted my money on the other one and didn't know at all until now that it was shortened. This version has supposedly all the stories. Even though I missed the other voice actor.

I thought this would fun for my kids, but these stories were absolutely terrible! neither scary, nor entertaining.

Glad to finally find it unabridged, sadly the narrations could have been better.
