The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Read by Kristin LeMoine
For killing an albatross, the mariner and his crew are punished with drought and death. Amidst a series of supernatural events, the mariner's life alone is spared and he repents, but he must wander the earth and tell his tale with the lesson that "all things great and small" are important.

great classic
ECGAM
Clearly read and great emphasis when needed. This is a classic that I read every few years, but listening was a nice experience, almost like listening to the story for the first time.
great reading

great diction and flow, fittingly dramatic, voices that are distinct and entertaining. A short and gripping tale that packs some gasps as well
One of the greatest poem in the English literary tradition.
A LibriVox Listener
The narrator does an excellent job in presenting the text in a clear voice with a neutral accent. This reading is great for literature students trying to find extra time during the day or for anyone curious about the lake poets.

I'm in awe. It's dreamy, nightmarish and supernatural. It's also a classic heroes journey. Well read and very well worth a listen.
