Beautifully read but sadly not complete, slightly adapted. Still a great listen or read. A lovely tale beautifully written.

My favourite childhood book

I am an adult and thoroughly enjoyed this. If you did to and love Tudor history, read le temps viendra - the time will come- Anne Boleyn.

Imaginative and historical

The only slight negative is that this is an abridged version of the book. The narrator is exquisite and deals with all the voices perfectly from1930s London to 16 century Derbyshire dialect. It has sublime descriptions of the English countryside and a beautiful plot. Highly recommended!!

Evocative and beautiful
