Really enjoyed the theatrical reading. Wonderful child's story. Different than anything else I've ever read by Tolstoy.

Excellent Reading!

It's rare to find a volunteer reading of a great book read as well as this was! Additionally, the message in the story, while simple, is not as dated as one might suppose. Simplicity and work are often subjugated to the complicated "cleverness" of our modern age, to which "Ivan the Fool" is a breath of fresh air and conviction. (Especially when listened to with Tolstoy's "The Slavery of Our Times" in mind.)

Good reading and story, eh audio quality

The audio sounded as if I was listening through an old radio, but the story was a decent listen overall. This was also my first audiobook I’ve finished as I wanted to start simple, and I’m pretty happy with that fact.

Beautiful recording!!
