My favourite book!

Loved this audio book ever since I was little, and still get much enjoyment from it even into my twenties, I think this book is incredibly overlooked. It is a fantastic piece of Tolkien; if not his best short story. The narrator portrays the books very well, with a relaxing but engrossing tone.

A cracking tale, beautifully read.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is entertaining: amusing and enthralling; a well crafted and well written tale with a perceived depth to it that JRR had a way of producing. Derek Jacobi reads it so very well: his voices and the pace of his reading are spot on, a real joy that I have listened to many times on long car journeys. I only wish that it were longer.

What about Derek Jacobi’s performance did you like?

DJ's acting skills are well known, but this combination of voice acting and narration is a wonderful performance and a joy to listen to. I can at one time lose myself in the story a dn just go along with it and at another time listen to his reading of it and enjoy it on that level alone. Really very good indeed.

Famer Giles & The Dragon

Great story from Tolkien, Chrysophylax is a memorable dragon to be sure. Discovering these faerie tales has been brilliant.

Entertaining story presumably for children

... good enough to entertain adults.
the well-rounded characters so Tolkien has made are very believable and very lifelike.
Whilst I had the audible books subscription going for 2 years I gained a number of credits and was not sure what books to use all of the tokens on. I am glad that I got this story.
A tale about a man with both good luck and the wits about him to make sure he gets the best out of situations.
Throughout the story you grow to like this character.
By the end you are half believing that it may be based on some truth. Tolkien has made reality from fiction.
