I think the narrator did a great job. His diction was clear and pace appropriate.
I enjoyed the stories that give a glimpse into another culture. I enjoy listening to the different takes on what may often be a similar story, told in retold throughout generations and different cultures, yet in a different way.
Another great compilation
