Summary

The third installment of Edith Nesbit's Psammead Trilogy continues to follow the lives of the original five children and their magical endeavors. The children once again encounter the Psammead, but this time they also discover an ancient amulet that contains time-traveling powers and fuels their adventure throughout the novel.

As the children experience different civilizations through time, they meet a multitude of new characters and explore many notable locales such as Atlantis before the flood, Babylon, and the Tin Islands. Profiting greatly from Nesbit's deep research of ancient civilizations, this final installment is a joyous listen for adults and children.

Wonderful story ruined by terrible reading

This classic tale by Edith Nesbit is a wonderful, much loved story, but here it is ruined by the terrible quality of the reading. Rosie Akerman misunderstands, mis-pronounces, puts emphases in the wrong places, and gets the voices horribly wrong - particularly for Jane (so high-pitched I thought it must be a joke), Robert (whom she manages to make sound like Little Lord Fauntleroy on a bad day) and, worst of all, the Psammead itself, which for some reason is voiced with a sort of hammed up cockney accent. The whole thing is unbearable, and I deleted it and bought a much better version read by Helen Taylor.
