Reviews

can't really make out the readers voice


(3 stars)

as much as I do appreciate the librivox volunteers for recording these old texts, this reader is far too close to the microphone and I can barely make out a single thing


(0.5 stars)

Putting aside the irritating cadence of the lacklustre narrator, he woefully mispronounces all the Welsh names/words rendering the reading very disappointing to listen to. Should be read by someone who at least has some understanding of wales/Welsh culture.

I've been looking for this, thank you so much. :)
