          <body><![CDATA[The audio book does a performance with multiple actors rather than just one reader.  I liked that.  If you're wondering about all the controversy, it didn't destroy my beliefs.  It's a story, I took it for what it's worth.  I sometimes felt it was an attack on the catholic church.

It was Eric Idle (one of the Monty Python guys).  My four year old actually got into it, as much as a four year old will allow himself to do.
