This is a lovely story I could’ve listened it forever. That Anna Sewell was a brilliant writer and the narrator was the best I’ve ever heard. With some sound effects, this could’ve have easily been a delightful radio drama. I listened to this with my 8 year old daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wow! The narrator and story are awesome

We recommend that you reduce the speed slughtly as the reader reads quite quickly but he he has a very good voice. The story is happy and sad and depressing but is well worth listening to. The pace is excellent. A lot happens in the story so at no stage is it boring. Although no one keeps horses for most of the jobs any more it is still very interesting.

Excellent read

I last read this book as a teenager (which was quite a while ago). It is as brilliant now as it was then. It made me both smile and shed tears. Anna Sewell was ahead of her time.
Narrator was really good too.

Still A Masterpiece

Amazing book

This is an amazing book. The only thing I’ll say is the scary bits like a fire where the horses died and the blood tongue. That was a bit too scary for maybe three-year-olds and two-year-olds. I don’t really think they understand like violence so I think they’re all ages up from maybe my age which is seven up to about, however old you want to read this book at really like it recommended for maybe my age upwards, but yeah I really like to recommend more books like this and that’s all I have to say very good. Loved it so I hope all the other people reading this love it too. It’s a very good book well done Anna Sewell.
