Great Tale, Great Reader
Starlite001
This is a typical H Rider Haggard adventure set in Africa. The reader is a local and pronounces the names perfectly. Although she has an accent, she is perfect for this book. She takes her time to read so it makes it much easier to read if you have a problem understanding accents. I highly recommend this book and the reader. Esther
