Beautiful and Accessible!


(5 stars)

My 5 year old loves these stories. We have listened to them three times now. They have been a great way for him to start asking questions about chivalry, trust, betrayal, and faithfulness. I highly recommend it for long-car rides. These tales spark the imagination and give much more history to Una and St. George than the typical children's tale. The narrator has a quiet gentle voice. My 3 year old finds him very relaxing and often falls asleep while listening.

Lovely old stories
