A thanks to the audio reader who has spent careful hours creating this offering of E.Nesbit’s work. At first, the effort put into clear diction is a little unnerving, and the slow carefulness of the reading felt like drowning in molasses, BUT I ADAPTED. And IT IS WORTH THE PATIENCE required to do so. I hope that Peter Eastman will continue to read books and will get the polish of experience that WE ALL derive from experience. Much care Much effort was lavished in the creation of this audiobook. I wish to point this out and to thank the artist for it. And I wish to encourage the intrepid listener to persist and be welcomed into further pastures of audio-grazing.
