Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was charmed by the way the narrators brought Lear's whimsical world to life. The pacing was just right, with a good balance between quick, playful poems and more languid, dreamy ones. My favorite was 'The Owl and the Pussycat', which was brought to life by Alex Jennings' warm, gentle narration. One area for improvement could be more subtle transitions between poems, as some felt a bit abrupt. Overall, though, this is a delightful audiobook that is sure to become a family favorite. I appreciated the way the narrators used inflection and tone to bring the characters to life, and the production quality was top-notch.
