Story - Not the best George MacDonald, but worth the time to listen. Especially good if you like Christian themes. Narration - Some of the earlier narrators were a bit hard to get through, but after the first half dozen or so readers I had no real complaints.

top notch book. (some) third notch readings

First reviewer said it well. Such lackadaisical reading that you wouldn't notice the glory of the thought. Maybe I should try reading myself.

Storytime with HannahMary

After reading previous reviews, I was pleasantly surprised at the readers. When choosing free audiobooks, professional reading is not to be expected, but I like to picture family and friends all gathered round, sharing a favorite book with each other in turn. Please be kind to those who put in the work to make this available to listeners. And, other than a few comments coming from MacDonald's belief that Hell is only a temporary arrangement meant to purify even after death, this is a story with much worth enjoying, pondering, and applying.

This was my first George MacDonald book and I was enthralled, delighted and could hardly stop listening. Even though some of the readers were quite horrendous, as other reviewers stated, if one just pushes through, the book is well worth that small agony. I believe this is a brilliant book with deep, spiritual nuggets.

The first reader was engaging-she made me eager to listen to chapter 2. But what an unpleasant surprise the second reader was! I thought I could read chapter 2 and pick up the audio in chapter 3 so that I wouldn't lose interest. But the same reader reads 3 & 4. Disappointing.

I was so excited to listen to this book! the readers were from good to acceptable for the first 6 chapters, but could not continue on past that point, due to very poor ( to the point of distraction) reading.

Lovely story made deeper and more beautiful by Macdonald’s spiritual insight throughout. It took a bit to be comfortable with each chapter being read by a different person, but I came to appreciate the variety.
