Lovely!

This book is a delight. I don't know why people so dislike the narrator. She's perfectly fine. I have so enjoyed this book. I will listen again.

I wish they'd made this with another narrator.

Great stories but listening to the narrator is a bit torturous. I had to stop listening to it just a little bit in because the narrator's voice was so annoying- to me ,at least. Listen to the sample before you get it.
