Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
A wonderful tale that belies its age. Storytelling at its very best.
What does Frederick Davidson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Davidson's mastery of his difficult craft always extracts the very best from every story he reads. In this instance, Kingsley's very English story deserves to be read by a competent reader of English - which Davidson certainly is. Not a single mis-step. Perfect pace. Every witty line delivered as intended. As good as it gets.
