Why not English??

The narrator is unable to pronounce English as written. He lacks the rhyme and emphasis the story deserves. It is very poor when compared with the earlier BBC version. Sadly I can't recommend it as it is not up to the expected standard.

A great story badly read.

Not a fan of the American monotone narrator! Nothing like the crisp English accented stories I remember listening to as a child.

Wanted a British version!
