This was so lovely! Loved listening to some of my childhood favourites. The narrator was amazing, was so lovely to have it read by an Irish person, it added to the magic.

Absolutely wonderful stories I was read to un school a long time ago ha ha. But the girl who read them wasn’t great at changing her accent and vouces of different characters was really off putting.
Other than that I really enjoyed it. I would recommend this audiobook to all my friends ☘️😁
