Every George MacDonal book is a must read. The greatest fantasy writer of his time is still very relevant today. An amazing man who influenced so many of our greatest writers and dare I say created the best authors in modern times. Must listen!
Haven’t listened to every story, but must say a big thank you to all volunteers…

Need to finish listening to it. Liked what I’ve heard so far! Narrators 2.5/5; Stories averaged 3.5/5 (for a George MacDonald.) Thank you, volunteers, for reading these!
Enjoyed All are worth a reading. I especially enjoyed The Wolf .
