This is a story from the Thumbelina and Other Fairy Tales collection.
This delightful selection is by one of the classic masters of the genre, presented in lively Naxos AudioBooks style with music and sound effects.
This recording is also unique in that the story is read by the finalists of the Naxos AudioBooks/The Times Voice of the Year competition, which offered a recording opportunity to talented reader who had never studied or worked professionally. The competition produced some outstanding natural talent as this recording shows!

Editorial reviews
Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen is best-known for his fairy tales, those enduring stories which have, in the centuries since their publication, come to serve as undisputed and pivotal examples of Western mythology and morality; they are narratives which shape and color many children’s most formative years. In this particular tale, "The Storks", Anderson tells the story of a brood of Storks mocked as hatchlings by a crowd of children, explaining how, in time, they get their revenge.
This light little story is performed by Helen Davies, whose voice is most significantly characterized by its tremendous range - Davies easily imbues her performance with drama and deftly brings each character herein uniquely to life.
