Delightful

I was introduced to Andrew Wincott via his wonderful turn as the devil Raphael in BG3, so I couldn't resist checking out his portrayal of these very different characters in one of my favorite stories. Wonderful again! A fantastic voice actor and a story teller par excellence.

Great for what it is

This is definitely a children’s story but if you need a little light hearted diversion that doesn’t demand a lot of focus, this is a good choice.

enjoyable listen

really enjoyed listening to this story. the narrator has such a comfortable manner of speaking that it was worth listening just for the sake of hearing his voice.

Amazing!

This is a wonderful and entertaining story for all ages and the performance was amazing!

The accent really added the richness to the story telling. Also calming to listen too.

First time hearing the story, really enjoyed it. As an adult I found the story very detailed and emotionally engaging. I was surprised to hear some swear words- nothing wrong by it for an adult or teen listener- but if I had a child 11yrs and younger maybe not okay with it. Other than that it didn’t detract from the story or wasn’t vulgar. Also I understand the ride at Disneyland much better thanks to the story!
