Great story by David Whittaker, and superb narration as ever from William Russell, top notch.

Brilliant narration

I’m generally not a fan of the historical stories, but this one is so beautifully written and narrated, I rank it highly as one of the better novelisations. The writing allows you to engage fully with the characters and William Russell’s narration is perfect. His comments at the end are a welcome bonus and the considered use of incidental music adds to the story. Thank heavens we are not assailed by the truly dreadful amateur musical mess that we are made to suffer through in later novelisation recordings.
This rendering is, for me, about as good as it gets and leaves me wondering about how much more could have been done with other stories given the opportunity. It has a welcome sophistication and literary style compared to some others and, if you’ve never tried one of the historicals before, you’re in for a treat.

A Masterpiece.
