Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
In the Hall of the Dragon King
Stephen Lawhead · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Tim Gregory
74/100
👍 Worth It
A genuine classic of Christian fantasy — an Arthurian-style quest where faith is woven through honestly rather than tacked on, backed by Lawhead's real standing in the genre. Tim Gregory's straight single-narrator reading is the one to grab for a classic listening experience, unless you'd rather splurge on the bigger full-cast dramatized version instead.
