Critiques

Utterly charming


(5 étoiles)

Humorous stories read by performers who are obviously having a wonderful time. Simply a great recording: one of theb est I've listened to on Librivox.

Fair to excellent readers, OK book


(3 étoiles)

First of all, there were certainly some very good readers here. My favourites were Glen Hallstrom and Christopher Sanner, but nobody was a really bad reader. I only wish those two excellent ones had recorded more for LibriVox than they so far have. The book, however, is only fair. The ‘English’ chapters were decidedly inferior to the ‘German’ ones, and even those might have been improved by spreading the hunting stories out among the others.
