- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The stories are told in different voices, which is terrific for this piece. The non-professional Librivox narrators did a terrific job. LibriVox, however, needs to edit this incredibly long audio version of a relatively short book. Every single brief episode (200+) is ruined in this case by LibriVox's normal introduction and their ending. It's incredibly frustrating to that over 200 times with each tiny brief piece of individual poetry. Strange that this wasn't remedied for this work as a whole.
