Absolutely brilliant - By: K. Stead, 02 Oct 2008 
My 7 year old son loves audio books & we have lots! He likes King Arthur tales but they can often be quite difficult to read & understand. However this is read brilliantly & we have both been gripped. Admittedly I have quite often had to pause it & explain parts but it is readin chapters which gives you convenient places to recap. We have listened travelling to & from school & for 3 nights we satin the car on the drive listening to see what happens. This is a great next step if they are getting a little to old for 'Stories for 5/6/7 year olds" audio books. It really is great. Buy it!
Fantastic - must have! - By: L. Wincott, 15 Aug 2008 I bought this for my five year old son to listen to for our holidayin France. The idea was to entertain whilst driving - it was fantastic - both me & my husband loved it just as much as our son. Sean Bean has a wonderful voice - a great story teller. It had us allin tears - magical! If you are thinking of buying this - go for it - you wont be disappointed!
anon from Camberley - By: Book Mad Mother, 04 Feb 2008 Loved it, as do my 4yr old & 6 yr old. listened to it on the way to school & like the other reviewer had to stop myself carrying on once I had dropped off the children. So good to hear one of the classics as well, reminds me of my childhood!!
Just brilliant - By: i wrote this, 04 Jan 2007 If you are interestedin this CD enough to read the reviews then take it from me, you are safe to go ahead & buy it. I got this CD for Christmas & it really delivered on every front.
The adaptation itself is brilliant. It covers most of the main eventsin the classic Arthur legends & gets through them at a cracking pace without ever compromising the epic nature of the stories. The classical music works very well & compliments the production nicely.
Sean Bean gives a first class reading. I've never been a big fan of his 'grim northener' srceen persona but here he uses his distinctive voice to great effect. Children who know him from the Lord of the Rings movies will find a lot to enjoy here,
The CD does not skip over some of the sexual elements & complicated relationships from the legends but manages to convey the eventsin a way that should be appropriate for most families who want to listen to this together on a car journey or something similair.
I can't give this CD enough praise. I listened to 25 - 30 audio books last year & this one really stood out as a wonderful production. When I finished I listened to the whole thing over again. It also sparked my interestin the Authorian legend & led me on to further reading, I can think of no higher recommendation then that.
Beautiful tale, wonderfully read - By: Jess Long, 21 May 2006 You will want to listen to it again & again. I amin my twenties & listened to it on the long drive to work. Suitable for all ages!
