Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Johanna Ward's narration is a joy to listen to, capturing the essence of Nesbit's storytelling with a voice that's as comforting as a warm cup of tea. She effortlessly switches between characters, bringing each one to life with a distinct voice and personality. The pacing is spot on, allowing the story to unfold at a leisurely pace that's perfect for listening in chunks. However, I must admit, I found myself wishing for a bit more depth in the characters' emotional journeys. While the children's adventures are undeniably fun, I would have loved to see them grapple with the consequences of their magic a little more. That being said, 'The Phoenix and the Carpet' is a wonderful listen, filled with laughter, imagination, and just the right amount of magic to make it a standout in the world of children's audiobooks.
