Love the narrator I’ll always pick him to read a story of theirs a choice of readers…. Peter Joyce is very clever at doing all kinds of voices from richest to the poorest and everything in between and all kinds accents from all over the world snd he remembers who is who …. Marvellous !!!! He understands the story and acts it out as reading so it goes to make a thoroughly enjoyable listen!!!
