Review of "Famously Funny: A Collection of Beloved Stories and Poems" by Jim Weiss

Famously Funny: A Collection of Beloved Stories and Poems

This is a simple collection of familiar tales and poetry, all told to us by Jim Weiss, who does a fine job. It begins with a tale from Hans Christian Andersen's story called "The Real Princess." Then comes one of my favorite poems from Lewis Carroll that tells us about Father William who, although very old, still stands on his head. Also included is Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" if you remember that one. There is some Edward Lear here, an Hillaire Belloc and an Indian Folk tale. Oh yes, there is a story about Anansi. This is a delightful audiobook, and Weiss is a fine storyteller.
