Badly needs editing.

A classic, moderately well read. However, the copy uploaded is an unedited one; with over 100 repititions of lines (and even whole paragraphs).
Also includes about 1 hour with completely different acoustics that is very off-putting.
Pity, this classic tale should be heard by evryone. :(

McSpadden’s version is really excellent. Would recommend this
