Purchase the books - do not waste your money on this audio package. I purchased the CD version - it comes in a double CD box but only contains one CD, with both stories on one CD. Except the stories are _highly_ abridged Also, the people who do the reading on the CD - they should take a class in effective communication. Although the reading is very clear, it is over-dramatic at times or completely stoic. A typical word-for-word reading. Poorly done.
But _do_ purchase the books - they are excellent.

Amazon's listing is wrong, this is highly abridged, and Amazon's cover art is a mockup, and not the real cover art. There is ONE cassette tape in the package.

One side of the tape is only one story from Babylon, abridged. As far as that goes it's OK. The cheesy music effects somehow do work with the material.

The other side is "The Magic Story"; I can't tell if it is abridged, but the first half of this story isn't worth a second (or first) listen, while the second half would need to be heard many times to understand it, but it's not worth the effort to fool with the rewind button.

Strangely, I *have* listened to the whole tape several times, and I don't feel cheated in my purchase, but I am disappointed. I cannot recommend this tape.

Get both real books "Richest Man in Babylon" and "Think And Grow Rich" first.

I just wasted my money purchasing this CD. The publishers should be ashamed of themselves for releasing this garbage. A basic common sense 1st grader story with horrible voices and tacky music.
