About this book
Green Forest Fairy Book by Loretta Ellen Brady whisks listeners into an enchanted wood where talking trees, curious apples, and mischievous folk bring old-school wonder to life. This collection of original fairy tales—rooted in the myths and legends tradition—blends gentle moral lessons with whimsical storytelling, echoing the charm of early 20th-century children’s fiction and the bedside story hours that inspired it.
Inside, Brady spins a variety of short tales that explore growth, bravery, and the surprising magic hidden in everyday things, all told with warm, accessible prose. The original volume was accompanied by illustrations from Alice B. Preston and dedicated to children in a San Francisco hospital, giving these stories a heartfelt, historical context that underscores their intent: to soothe, delight, and kindle imagination. Themes of transformation, kindness, and playful trickery weave through each fable without spoiling the twists that make fairy tales enduring.
Perfect for listeners who love classic fairy tales, myths and legends, or vintage children’s fiction, this audiobook is an inviting choice for family storytime, solo listening, or anyone seeking a gentle, imaginative escape into a green, whispering forest.
