About this listen

Like Solomon with his magic ring, famed Austrian ethologist Konrad Lorenz was a gifted student of the animal world. King Solomon's Ring, which brought him worldwide recognition, is a delightful collection of observations and insights into the lives of our furry and feathered friends, from our familiar furry companions to water shrews and jackdaws. A must listen for any animal lover.

A strong Southern English accent. The narrator misplaces word stress and doesn't read fluently. He stumbles and doesn't understand what he's reading. He ruined a Nobel Prize winner's book!

pīpuW, this is a bad igzāmpuW !

Enjoyed the book, obviously from a different time and perspective but the narration was so odd. The narrator pronounced lots of words wrong, even common words so it was a bit distracting at times.

Really good book but weird narration...

This wonderful classic of animal behaviour is completely ruined by the most bizarre pronunciation of so many words.

Awful narration
