Subject: Somewhat agree with "thecrwth"
While I didn't notice the 'popping mouth malady' that "thecrwth" mentioned, it was read with a dry delivery that did not linger enough on Dunsany's great words. Dunsany, and especially this book, deserve a reader, an actor, of high merit; not a well intentioned amateur. Still, I will not let my disappointment that the 'Book of Wonder' was not done all justice, lead me to insult a reader who obviously loves Dunsany as much as I do. In a world in which Dunsany is an obscure little known author, it seems overly cruel to castigate someone for trying to spread 'wonder' to others.

Subject: Bad reading, great stories
If you don't mind a droning emotionless voice reading great fantasy stories, then this is for you! As an added bonus, it sounds like the reader was chewing gum, or had some annoying popping mouth malady that made me want to pierce my eardrums.
