Reviewer: Amy - November 5, 2014 Subject: Book of Wonder and reader This is a charming set of short fantasy stories. My only complaint is that they are each so short I felt I had just gotten into them when they were done. The reader is awesome and has the perfect tone and reading style for this genre. |
Reviewer: Oopticus - November 10, 2013 Subject: Disagree with "thecrwth" Out of all the narrators, this guy reads better than most. He should read more works from Dunsany. |
Reviewer: Jimmy - July 11, 2013 Subject: The Best Book Ever I cant over state how great a book this is, a must read. |
