This is a charming set of short fantasy stories. My only complaint is that they are each so short I felt I had just gotten into them when they were done. The reader is awesome and has the perfect tone and reading style for this genre.

Out of all the narrators, this guy reads better than most. He should read more works from Dunsany.
