Dreadful narration.
What a shame these wonderful stories are ruined by such awful, monotonous narration. Such great writers deserve better treatment.

Very dissapointed with the narration:(
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I don't know , I couldn't listen to five mins of it.
Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobson’s performances?
never
Any additional comments?
I hadn't got round to listening to this till today, thought it would be a great addition to my collection, and now I expect it is too late to return it!

The stories are good
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Cathy Dobson ruined these stories by reading them as if they were nursery rhymes.
Who was your favorite character and why?
N/A Short Stories
How did the narrator detract from the book?
It was very hard to follow the stories as the narrator had such a sing-song way of reading, the sense of the words was lost.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Anger and disappointment. Sad to have wasted my credit.
