About this listen

The original idea came to co-author Mary Harrison when she observed her youngest son, Leon, trying to pick flowers from a floral pattern on her bed cover. The infant's actions seemed so quirky and amusing that Mary was prompted to write a letter to Woman's Own magazine which was subsequently published. Mary asked if other mothers had experiences similar "odd" moments with their little ones. The word "odd" was the keyword that triggered an amazing reaction, and Mary, whose address had been published with her letter, was overwhelmed with letters from parents reporting accounts of reincarnation. From this, the idea for the book The Children that Time Forgot was born.

Mary and Peter Harrison spent over a year thoroughly researching leads. The anecdotes and stories developed organically as they gathered new evidence and established facts. Amongst the 30 fascinating accounts they unearthed, one story features a young girl from the north of England, so young she had not travelled outside of England before and was too young to read, yet she recounted, with chilling accuracy, visiting her grandmother in Dundee on the fateful night in 1879 her train was swept away when the Tay Bridge collapsed. Cynics would of course be quick to question the validity of such a story, but when the girl's family recollections were checked out, eyewitness accounts of the family she described, events leading to it, and records matched up.

The book's primary aim is to present children's stories in a neutral, non-judgmental way and let the listener decide. All the stories are spontaneous and all contributors offered their stories voluntarily.

Good stories but…

The narrator needs more practice. That’s all.
I’m not going to be hating on her so let’s just say the sound editing was bad.

Interesting

The whole concept the book is based around is really fascinating. Lots of short, interesting stories. But the audio editor fell down on the job. There’s lots of sing-song yawns and stumbling of sentences, repeats of sentences and even a burp from the narrator in the beginning half of the book.

Hehe..

Fascinating!

Interesting cases. Kept my attention. However, in one chapter, the editor fell down in the job! Yawning, belching, and repeating by the narrator!

Not sure the reader understands how a mic works

The story is very good. The narrator is not bad. I believe she is sitting too close to the mic, as it makes her sound breathy. The absolute best part? She freely yawns and burps during the reading. She needs some practice before unleashing her on another book. Was there no checks before releasing this?
