Reviews
GREAT DIVERSITY, ALL WITH ACTION
Avid Listener
A fine collection. The action can be felt in most of them. ACD sets the bar high for some of his metres. CREMONA is especially well constructed. Some of the readers were good, some were just reading words, but, why does Librivox continue to use non-native English speakers to read English poetry--the results are ludicrous.
