Charlotte, N.C. (PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- Audio book publisher Classic Children's Tales recently released classic 19th Century fairy tales and children's stories read by actors in the dialect of the times and region. Unlike the modern Disney renditions, these stories promise more excitement and development of literary skills.

Characters such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Red Riding Hood, Cinderella and many more come to life for children of all ages through Classic Children's Tales audio books.

"The ancient art of story telling has been revived in the 21st century via audio book," said Classic Children's Tales founder and president Patrick Fields.

"Hearing these tales read by people in proper dialect of the times promotes children to use their imagination in a way that videos and picture books simply cannot. Before books and movies, there were story tellers, and this medium has benefits for developing a child's literary mind in ways that others do not."

Fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen are mesmerizing, told unabridged as they were written for children centuries ago. "This is not your Disney's Snow White," claims Fields. "In the original Grimm's Snow White, there are many more details, twists and turns. Hearing these tales is very exciting and requires a vivid imagination and attention span. This form of entertainment, in its original format, is much more educational than plugging in another Disney movie. And this is true of all the stories; Disney shortened, softened and often simplified the story. They dumbed them down. Children can handle the originals, and build brain power in the process."

Examples of revisions from the original stories can be found at Classic Children's Tales website.

The Little White Bird, which is the first story by J.M. Barrie that introduces Peter Pan (https://www.dixielandclassics.com/dixiestore/detail.php?item=WITBD), is one of the collections. In addition to Peter Pan, you can listen to the real stories of the world's most popular characters; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Tom Thumb, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella (https://www.dixielandclassics.com/dixiestore/detail.php?item=ONCEU), Sleeping Beauty, and Hansel and Gretel, the Ugly Duckling and many more.

Each title is rare, properly coded to prevent piracy, and retails for an average of $29 and 5 hours of listening for a 4-disk set. Fans of the audio books can sign up for the Classic Children's Tales affiliate program, in which affiliates will be rewarded cash commissions for each sale through their Web site, church, club and other organization where they may find interested listeners.
