- Book of Wonder and reader

This is a charming set of short fantasy stories. My only complaint is that they are each so short I felt I had just gotten into them when they were done. The reader is awesome and has the perfect tone and reading style for this genre.

- Disagree with "thecrwth"

Out of all the narrators, this guy reads better than most. He should read more works from Dunsany.
