Gelesen von Abigail Rasmussen

(4,745 Sterne; 163 Bewertungen)

Set in the days of the Crusaders, this books tells of a young maiden named Rosamund, and her twin cousins. Godwin is the grey eyed thoughtful man, and Wulf is the blue eyed warrior. They are both knights of England and they are both in love with their fair cousin. But the riddle of the story is which does Rosamund love?

The adventure begins when Rosamund is taken from England and carried to the East. The plot thickens as the two young knights follow her in hopes of rescuing her from the Muslim leader, Saladin. As the Cross and the Crescent face each other at the Battle of Hattin, the story of Rosamund is unfolded and the riddle is solved.

With dangerous lions, a moon light duel on a bridge, and beautiful Arabian horses, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. (Summary by Abigail Rasmussen) (14 hr 22 min)

A very worthy historical tale!

H. Ryder Haggard skillfully weaves this tale of a time shrouded in mystery where heroes and villains are named and their deeds brought to light. Bitter-sweet and thoroughly enjoyable to hear read by Ms. Rasmussen. Thank you!

Haggard at his best! And the reader is excellent! It is so enjoyable when one reader does the whole book. Lovely job, Ms. Rasmussen. Your voice fit the book so well. One of my favorite books of all time, and played out so much differently than expected.

This author is a favorite

(5 Sterne)

The reader Ms. Rasmussen was great. She didn't try to sound like a man when reading their parts but showed the depth of all characters in other ways. I was never bored by this book, how H. Ryder Haggard came up with this story, with even some accuracy to the history is beyond me. There was suspense, mystery, explanation od different cultures and religions AND a love story are expertly wound together. it keeps your attention for the entire reading.
