Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Whitney Gardner’s performance as Dorothy is nothing short of outstanding. Her voice captures the innocence and determination that resonate throughout the story. The pacing is just right, maintaining an engaging rhythm without feeling rushed or drawn out. The annotations provide delightful context, enriching the listening experience with trivia about Baum's intentions and the cultural impact of this beloved tale. However, some might find the historical notes a bit heavy during moments of pure storytelling magic. Overall, this audiobook stands as a must-listen for fans of classic literature.
