Reviews
can't really make out the readers voice
A LibriVox Listener
as much as I do appreciate the librivox volunteers for recording these old texts, this reader is far too close to the microphone and I can barely make out a single thing
A LibriVox Listener
Putting aside the irritating cadence of the lacklustre narrator, he woefully mispronounces all the Welsh names/words rendering the reading very disappointing to listen to. Should be read by someone who at least has some understanding of wales/Welsh culture.
