Sir Gibbie

By: George MacDonald

Narrated by: Gordon Jack

A wonderful story of adventure through the different spheres of life by Scottish author George MacDonald.

Listeners will fall in love with this "Christ-like" character, Gibbie, who is a mute, yet truly good in heart and in deed. A uniquely creative tale that will capture both the old and the young for ages to come.

Though a fiction book, it has the potential of expressing life lessons in a most enjoyable way.

May you be blessed as you travel with Sir Gibbie in this tale!

Couldn’t imagine a better narrator for this timeless rendition of Wee Sir Gibbie! Loved all of it

Beloved story, delightful narration!

Gordon Jack's narration brings one of my favorite books to life! I was specifically looking for an audiobook of Sir Gibbie read by a Scottish narrator who could render the Scots dialog naturally and authentically, and he did a brilliant job!

Sir Gibbie was the book where I first learned to read Scots years ago, with the help of a glossary. I see reviews where listeners had difficulty understanding it, but I'd encourage anyone who's hesitant to try this book because of that: just go for it! Even without catching every word, you can still understand most things and fully enjoy this lovely story. But the delightful Scots dialog is totally worth the effort of sometimes backing up to relisten to a sentence, or even of looking up words now and then. (Hint: there are good Scots dictionaries online).

For anyone wanting to actually learn Scots, this book is a great place to start! Read along with the audio to better learn new words, and keep that dictionary handy!

An inspiring story

Wonderfully narrated. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I want to be more like Janet and Sir Gibbie

Excellent narrator

This is the first time I have listened to Sir Gibbie. It was so excellently performed. Speaking in the Scottish dialect made the story come to life. There were times they had to repeatedly listen to a section in order to understand it, and often resorted to online sources to help decipher phrases that were completely unintelligible to me. I now understand why this is Such a loved story. Youngster Gibby catches your heart and presents amazing strength of character and the soul in a way not often depicted.

a beautiful story

I love this book. the narrator did an excellent job with a difficult language.
