About this book
Frog Prince and Other Stories (version 2) by Walter Crane invites listeners into three timeless fairy tales retold with the clear, lyrical simplicity of their earliest forms. Crane’s collection gathers The Frog Prince, Princess Belle-Etoile, and Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp into a compact children's fairy tale collection that strips away later embellishments and restores the concise charm of traditional folklore.
These Victorian-era retellings (first published 1874) emphasize magic, noble quests, cunning villains, and brave princes and princesses, while foregrounding themes of loyalty, courage, and reward. Crane’s prose favors clarity over ornament, letting enchanted fountains, mysterious lamps, and perilous journeys speak for themselves. The result is a refreshing, unadorned presentation that highlights the moral and imaginative heart of each story without modern additions or spoilers.
Ideal for family listening, bedtime storytelling, and fans of classic fairy tales and folklore, this audiobook is perfect for anyone who loves compact, moral-driven stories told with period charm. Choose this edition for a return to the simpler, enduring magic of beloved tales—beautifully suited to both young listeners and adults who cherish traditional retellings.
