Subject: Most enjoyable

At first I was a bit disconcerted by the strangeness of these tales, but they are really wonderful. They are just the kind of highly imaginative tales one would tell to children, perhaps making them up as you go along. The reader does a marvelous job.

Subject: Bee Man of Orn

Excellent reading of these strange, medieval-sounding tales.

Initially, I was unsure if these odd stories would hold my attention -- they did, equally due to the author's style and the reader's skill. Her voice is pure and her enunciation perfect, and has a lovely tone. Highly recommended.

Thank you Gryphon! More please.

this is a wonderful reading; very clear and articulate.

if you can find it, there is also the excellent reading of Frank Stockton's "the lady or the tiger/the discourager of hesitancy" read by Toyah with musical accompaniment by Robert Fripp ( guitarist for King Crimson) on EG records.
