High Praise

Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful flow of narrative. Narration by Christina Moore was excellent! Highly recommend.

Very entertaining

Great narration, minor artistic license taken to help stories flow better. Good for adults and children.

A FREE must read for adults and children

My daughter and I enjoyed listening to the stories within a story during long car rides, we marveled at the lavish story telling. A must read!

Educational and enjoyable

I knew the Titel since my childhood, but not the content. I enjoyed this introduction together with the background information and nearly missed an appointment to listen to the very end. Good for every age group.

What a lovely experience. I read this at least 25 years ago and am so glad I decided to listen to this rendition.
