Profile Image for Kimberley Chester

In a nutshell, superb! The tales and the narration are both worth your time and money.

I have been listening to Simon Stanhope, Narrator for these superb stories, for a long time on YouTube. I was more than pleased to see a collection of his here on Audible.

His narration is second to none.
