Narration was amazing, really brought the book to life! Story is great too, chose it for a project in college and this made it super fun and easy to consume. Would definitely recommend

Loved everything about this!

Lovely wholesome but simple story and good narration. God awful intro and ending music. I almost didn’t go further than the intro music because I thought the story itself would be just as bad!

Wholesome
