Great little stories!

I wasn't immediately taken with the narrator, but I grew to like it. The narrator does a very wonderful job and I would highly recommend this audiobook.

The stories are some my my all-time favourties.

Christopher Lambert after a stroke!

There can only be NONE! Anyone from Scotland that can listen to this without smashing their phone should get a prize, like a welcomed merciful death. F you Jack.

Shocking accent.

I don't know where the narrator is from but his accent is painfully contrived. The worst crime is his frequently repeated mispronunciation of Gaelic which, when referring to Scottish people/language should be pronounced Gallic not gail-ik. The stories are amazing but I can't listen to this numpty reading them.
