Great Story, Great Audio

What made the experience of listening to WDA Classics Presents O. Henry's The Gift of the Magi the most enjoyable?

W.B. Ward and his voice. He has a very soothing and good voice for audio books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Probably the main girl. She was featured the most and her husband is not in the book very much.

Which character – as performed by W.B. Ward – was your favorite?

I like the way he portrayed the main girl. He did a good job at emulating a woman without making his voice shrill.

Yes, it was. It is very short and does not take long at all to listen to.

Any additional comments?

Listen to W.B. Ward books. He has a great voice!

Great Christmas Novel

This is a wonderful love Story. I really enjoyed listening to this book. I am so glad I get to save it in my Library so I can listen to it again around Christmas time. Bravo

A true love story

This has always been one of my favorite stories. The love and sacrifice this young couple show for each other is both heartwarming and heart wrenching. I listened to it twice, and was brought to tears each time! W. B. Ward once again gives a stellar narration. He has an uncanny knack of drawing the listener in and feeling as if they are an unseen observer of the unfolding events. This was a pleasurable listen that I highly recommend!

A classic Christmas tale of love and sacrifice

This is a great short tale for all ages. It brings home what sacrifices those in love are willing to do for one another. The Narrator spins this tale with a old country style, like that of a uncle telling stories as the children gather around the fireplace awaiting Christmas dinner. Highly recommended!
