A favorite! Read and re-read

I honestly was shocked to see a one-star review of this book with no explanation. I have to assume it is a mistake. Burgess' stories may be a bit old-fashioned, but they are wonderful and this narrator (unlike the most prevalent narrator of these stories here on audible) does a lovely job. While we avoid the other narrator at all costs, this recording is lovely. These characters are so full of life, information and fun. I love reading these stories to my children, but I am glad to have a resource which reads to them when I am unable. Totally worth the credit.
