A LibriVox Listener
In the classical style of Rafael Sabatini, a story in which our brave and pure of heart hero wins the heart of the fair lady! I believe this Rafael Sabatini story is less well known than some of his others, but it is definitely as enjoyable. Thanks to the reader for this recording. Relaxed reading, easy to listen to. I hope she will record more of Sabatini's books.
