Animal Folk Tales of Britain and Ireland
Sharon Jacksties · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Sharon Jacksties (author-narrated)
60/100
👎 Skip It
Sharon Jacksties brings genuine storyteller pedigree to this British and Irish folklore collection, and her own narration carries real oral-tradition authenticity. That said, reader feedback describes the tales as pleasantly told but fairly simple, without much extra historical context to deepen them. A nice listen for animal-loving families, but not one I'd call essential.
