Summary

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style.

From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold—heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all.

Location: Rocky Mountains, USA 
Deep in the shimmering waters of the Coral Triangle, Flick, a curious young seahorse, and Sandy, a grumpy but loyal crab, dart through swaying coral branches, playing tag in their vibrant reef. But something is changing. The colors are fading, the water is growing still, and the reef’s once-lively hum is disappearing. 
When they meet Glow, a regal but fading coral, she reveals a troubling truth—the reef is struggling. Warmer waters, creeping algae, and vanishing sea life are leaving it weaker than ever. 
Determined to help, Flick and Sandy set off on a journey to uncover how the reef can be saved. Along the way, they meet incredible sea creatures—a parrotfish cleaning algae, a sea turtle tending the seagrass, and a tiny shrimp scrubbing fish scales—each playing a role in keeping the ocean alive. 
But is it enough? Can the reef be restored? 
With the guidance of Raya, a wise manta ray, Flick and Sandy make an unexpected discovery—one that could bring hope back to the ocean. The reef’s future isn’t lost yet… but time is running out.

In Sera’s guarded, imaginative core, fauns have rejected the Royal Coven, their magick, and the questionable trades made for it. One day, her quest for answers unearths a dark family secret. With the help of a shapeshifting deadringer and a cavalier classmate, Sera embarks on a journey that will change her world forever. 
This 6.5-hour adventure is an auditory feast led by sharp, spirited performances from Tammie Armstrong (Sera and Nixie) and Uriah Roots (Enry and Wilford). Supporting characters are voiced by Sabrina Bee (Mother and Maeve) and Steve Bernard (Father and Roald), while the story is narrated by Charles Armstrong. Behind the performances, a moody musical backdrop and rich ensemble of sound effects complete the vivid retelling, resulting in an experience that’s more like a movie than a traditional audiobook. On supported platforms, a supplemental 48-page pdf complements the experience with twisted illustrations from famed artist Kira Night.
