- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The writing but in this case it is the narrator—Simon Evers. I heard this on Librivox and Mr. Evers is a cut above their usual narrators. This is a superb narration, with wonderful, sympathetic portrayals of all the characters, their natures, their accents. He imparts to the listener the humor and adventure of this tale. Dated or insular ideas become irrelevant. It is obvious I greatly appreciate Simon Evers’ narration. I have listened to it twice. The fearless boys in Gorbals Die-Hards are a delight! Mr. Evers has narrated other novels—never a disappointment.
