Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Fairy Tales
George MacDonald · 2022
🎙 Narrated by Georgina Sutton and David Timson
MacDonald's fairy tales carry real depth — the same Christian imagination that later shaped C.S. Lewis comes through in stories like The Golden Key and The Wise Woman, and this Naxos edition gives you the complete, unabridged set. It leans older-child-through-adult in places, so it's not one for the very youngest ears, but it rewards a patient listener with genuine substance. I don't have specific narration reviews in hand, but Naxos's reputation for careful, professional productions gives me reasonable confidence it's worth the listen.

🎙 Narration: good No specific performance reviews were found, but Naxos AudioBooks is a reputable, established literary-audiobook publisher, which lends the dual narration general credibility.
