About this listen

Set in a magical kingdom where a wealthy prince and a Russian princess meet for the first time and fall madly in love with each other. Their wedding is to be a huge celebration for the entire realm, with all sorts of entertainment, including fireworks as a grand finale.

As soon as various firework elements are set in place, they start talking amongst each other, and we meet the very distinguished Remarkable Rocket, responsible for so many of Oscar Wilde's memorable epigrams, including, 'I like to do all of the talking myself. It saves time and prevents arguments.'

Read in English, unabridged.

Really good reading by Stephen Fry. Reads it like a master story teller. Enjoyed the different voices he can do and his pronunciation is spot on. Fantastic
