![]() ![]() Simon has a voice that is easy to listen to that does not jar on the ear drums, and, you will need to listen carefully. '.What have I got in my Pocket?.' (Bilbo Baggins) If the act of reading is difficult, and you are ready to listen closely then this is a book well worth getting to know. Even Riddles are a very British adventure, reflected in another more modern classic with. The love of sailing and boating, curious minds, challenging the natural and man made forces by ordinary people and some good old fashioned adventures as the Riddle is solved. Over a hundred years have passed since the writing of this classic British Espionage story, and there are some lovely allusions relating to the seas. I appreciate the voices are not forced and accept it is a hard task. Simon Vance usually is an excellent narrator and in this classic story of the sea, he misses the mark. He was executed by the authorities of the nascent Irish Free State during the Irish Civil War in 1922. Mostly 2 characters and the voices do need to be clearly distinguishable to work as an audio. Robert Erskine Childers DSC, universally known as Erskine Childers, was the author of the influential novel The Riddle of the Sandsand an Irish nationalist who smuggled guns to Ireland in his sailing yacht Asgard. A very good read and sadly a disappointing listen. ![]()
