The Heroes

I liked the first story but the second story was a little too creepy for me, because the sounds that were in the background were too much, and very loud. But I liked it all the same. Highly recommended. One of my favorite books.

Great Stories — Great Performance

What about Robin Field’s performance did you like?

One of my favorite performers on Audible. Never bored of listening.

Any additional comments?

Listening to this recording with my 8-year-old son who studies English as a foreign language. We both enjoy it — the text and the performance. BTW, the text is available free at the Project Gutenberg.

Great Narrator

I would have liked more stories instead of the few that were in this book but the ones that were here were great. Narrator was excellent.
