Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Barbara Rosenblat's narration is a delight, her voice shifting seamlessly between characters, from the curious Anatole to the wise old soldier. The pacing is spot on, never rushing through the magical moments or lingering too long on the mundane. My only critique is that the transition between stories could be smoother, but overall, 'Sailing to Cythera' is a charming, engaging listen that's sure to captivate young listeners and spark their imagination. It's like having a cozy storytime with a friend who's mastered the art of storytelling.
