The audio version brings it to life and gets students to actually listen and read along, which isn't bad considering the story itself is over 2,000 years old and still quite a challenge to read.

Rating - Fundemental Literture in the Form it Was Meant For thousands of years this story has been told and retold. The reason this story is still being told and still being heard is because it is so exciting and so very compelling. It never grows old. I have read and enjoyed this story from a leather bound book, but it is best heard spoken from a human voice. Ian McKellen is qualified as a modern day bard. Unlike most movies and books of today, once will not be enough. Read More see more reviews See all books by author Homer
