Enthralling. Highly recommended.

I got this book with the intention of having something that would keep me planted beside my massive towering needing-to-be- folded-laundry pile and this, was my temptation and reward for getting down the pile. I checked the weather, picked a windy stormy day, I put the slow cooker on and settled in and sure enough, I was not only riveted, but afterwards the pile was sorted. It took a while I kept stopping to listen, enraptured. Although the number of times I had to remind myself get back to it because I was so caught up in the story I'd stopped and was tensely waiting to see EEEKKKK what's going to happen!? Didn't the cook tell the butler, it's a giant, they don't exactly whisper.
There's none of the same old same old stories that I've read or heard repeated everywhere without interest or any sense of life. These are new stories I hadn't heard before. He has a great voice that I enjoyed listening to, he was familiar with the stories and his intonation that makes it seem like he's in the room with you rather than reading the stories out in a booth.
His sense of timing that that really draws you in and adds the little details that really helps immerse and help you visualise what is happening. He's a master of timing, the pauses, just for long enough to not get impatient. A few times the children came and sat with me and listened to a story before heading back out to play. A few times we even had to pause it because they got so excited. We have some story time set up with this for later this week during the thunder storm that we may be getting. Will absolutely get the next one audiobook and the books.

I will add my children are unimpressed with me going "young beauty, I have come far to find out who has made this mess that is all still over the floor, if you will help me tidy it up now you won't be sent to tidy your bedroom on your own".

Edit to add, Oooh the outrage at the stoor worm, the children were most impressed at the king only bothering to do something when it was his own daughter about to be munched.

Great stories

really loved it. Great stories told really well by the narrator. got me through a couple days of very boring work. I could zone out and get pulled into every tale. I would highly recommend it

stories that transport you to a mythical scotland

absolutely fabulous stories, all of which I'd never heard of before. the performance is fantastic and very well read, with every word you can really picture what's happening. in some stories they are a bit dark so I'm not sure they would all be appropriate for children. but you can always choose which story to have on and can always skip one. I'm just sad its over haha, anymore from this author I would snap up immediately.
