Idylls of the King, published between 1856 and 1885, is a cycle of twelve narrative poems by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson which retells the legend of King Arthur, his knights, his love for Guinevere and her tragic betrayal of him, and the rise and fall of Arthur's kingdom. The whole work recounts Arthur's attempt and failure to lift up mankind and create a perfect kingdom, from his coming to power to his death at the hands of the traitor Mordred. Individual poems detail the deeds of various knights, including Lancelot, Geraint, Galahad, and Balin and Balan, and also Merlin and the Lady of the Lake. (Summary by Wikipedia) (9 hr 20 min)

Ms. Klett does a very fine job reading this book. Her voice is clear and consistent from segment to segment, and she generally does a good job avoiding a flat/straight read. The recordings are good, not muddled with needless background noise. I give her four stars out of a possible five because I found, for my part, that I sometimes had trouble differentiating one character's dialogue from the next. But, as long as you're mindful of those dialogue transitions, this is a very fun, well made recording.

This work has always stood high among the masterpieces of literature, and I have read it many times. Elizabeth klett's interpretive reading perhaps takes it to an even higher plane.

Narrative poetry on audiobook can be a bit tough, but the combination of Arthurian legend and the excellent reading make this a good choice.
