Reviews

Excellent Reader, Traditional Tales


(5 stars)

One of the very best readers I’ve ever heard. Thank you. Stories are traditional folk tales. Several new to me but familiar themes, a king has three sons, the poor woodcutter, brother against brother, hero’s journey. Some magical. All read well.
