The perfection of the combination of a great tale with the silver tongued tones of a great bard, for the most best chapters ! For any one wanting to study narrative perfection you need only listen to a chapter being read by Lars and you will know without a doubt left over what perfection truly is in any language! I will miss his rare talent being amongst us every day !!! All my best wishes go out to his family, and to all the LibriVox world, that such a dear person has undertaken the final adventure of life!
Just okay story - good narration though

I had a hard time rating this story. I thought it started off well, it held my interest and I was curious about what would happen. Then when the children kept traveling back and forth through time it got a bit repetitive and I lost interest. The last chapter was pretty good, but even the last chapter was hard to get through. I would say fast forward through all the mouldywarp adventures. I liked the narration it was Elizabeth Klett, Sonja and Lars Rolander all who have voices well suited to a fairy tale like story.





I enjoyed the plot of the book, but sadly the audiobook was slightly spoiled for me by the reading of Zonya (not sure of the spelling), as I couldn't understand half of the time what she was saying ;/
Cute story





Very cute story. It was very interesting to hear Dracula narrate the story. Their accent made the story very interesting I loved it! I wish they narrator more chapters.





The readers were great! Thank you to them! The story was a little lacking for me, given how much I love other works from E. Nesbit.





Goyo
good story, but multiple narators, some non native speakers, took away from the book, and made a little hard to stay focused
