The narrator is unable to pronounce English as written. He lacks the rhyme and emphasis the story deserves. It is very poor when compared with the earlier BBC version. Sadly I can't recommend it as it is not up to the expected standard.

A great story badly read.

Not a fan of the American monotone narrator! Nothing like the crisp English accented stories I remember listening to as a child.

Wanted a British version!
