The timeless lessons of Old World fables and fairy tales are blended with contemporary twists and humor for todays children in the audiobook collections of My Sisters Stories. Stripped of the unnecessary violence and cumbersome language of the original versions, the stories promote such traits as loyalty, perseverance, teamwork, self-acceptance, and honesty. The collections include stories that parents and grandparents will recognize from their childhood as well as some that are lesser known. The original tales have received 21st century makeovers that listeners of all ages will enjoy, over and over again. In Billy Goats Gruff, the troll decides in the end to peacefully co-exist with the goats and take up fishing. In Chicken Little, the friends learn that everyone can have a different understanding of the same event. The unscrupulous tailors in The Emperors New Clothes get their comeuppance when the emperor realizes the pitfalls of his vanity, and the big, bad wolf in The Three Little Pigs is outsmarted only when the trio of brothers realize they need to work together. The project is a partnership between Claire Michel, an actress and professional voiceover artist based in Jacksonville, Florida, and her sister, Ann Weber, a newspaper reporter and freelance writer in Toledo, Ohio. Ms. Michel narrates the stories and gives life to the delightful characters in the adaptations that she and Ms. Weber wrote individually or in collaboration. The two sisters have four sons, two daughters-in-law, and one grandson. Volume 1 includes the 2008 digitally remastered versions of The Little Red Hen, The Ugly Duckling, and Three Sisters.
