I agree with you that it's not only for children - and it is good for adults to be reminded of how relevant traditional stories are to people of all ages. Ironically, it's often only when we start reading the stories to our own children that we return to them as adults. You make an interesting point too about how difficult it is sometimes to read dialects - but I also think this can add to the richness of reading a book aloud. What do you think?

I as a child enjoy classic stories and find the Mousehole cat very good although i think that the language is very hard and to write that must have been really easy at the time as they were using that language but now to read as the words aren't really spoken anymore i think it is really hard.
