The Wind in the Willows (v. 1.0) Разработано tarzanapp |
This classic adventure story, set in early twentieth-century Britain, features the lovable characters Rat, Toad, Mole, and Badger. Narrator Shelly Frasier's clear, pleasant voice carefully distinguishes these four creatures, and it's easy to keep their identities straight, though her throaty characterization of Ratty's voice occasionally makes one want to cough. However, Frasier must constantly switch from her native American accent to the British voices of her characters, which is somewhat distracting at first, though one gets used to it as the story moves along. The naughty toad is her best creation--she seems to understand his dreamy but destructive love of motor cars completely.

[2011-03-10] A Google User: Great Story, misleading advertising I purchased this book for my son to listen to. I have had the hard bound book in my library for more that 40 years. Reading the advertisement for this book I was under the impression that it was an audible book and that it would be narrated to me. "Narrator Shelly Frasier's clear, pleasant voice carefully distinguishes these four creatures" Needless to say it does not narrate the book. At least, not on my Sprint HTC Hero with 2.1 firmware. Oh well.. for 0.99 what can you expect? |
