Reviews
love the book and have fun with little dok of normindy

I enjoyed this book very much. I’m grateful that I happened to read the reviews, urging me to go to librivox.org. The last 3 chapters are unintelligible unless the reader is a good guesser. I searched the website for this title, then searched that page and with a little difficulty, found the link to the text. The love and devotion to God, the honor and manliness of the little duke are qualities every child should be taught. Thank you, Librivox volunteers.

I love this book it’s like the best book in the world! because it shows you how the little duke gives grace to the man who kills his father and how he treated his slaves and when he went to h the king he was treated like garbage. And how he comes back and shows so much grace to His.
Lovely story - Audio 3 stars

What a lovely story. While many of the recordings were excellent, there were some with choppy audio quality and he final chapters were unintelligible to my family due to the readers thick accent. Thankfully this story is available in written form and we will read-aloud those chapters.

Several chapters were not understandable for myself, my husband or my daughter. I’m very disappointed that I can’t use this recording for her education.

The book was great there were a few readers I couldn't understand towards the end or I would give it five stars.

Great story. Not clear on gentleman narrator's voice. Had to listen closely to catch all

June I liked this book usually if I’m just listening to an audiobook for fun, I like to have one reader because multiple readers makes me up but since I am listening to this book for school, I except multiple readers. Some of the readers were good, but others were choppy and not understandable if you are listening to this book for fun, I recommend trying to find a different version with one reader, or with a lot of readers good other than that cute story
