Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“John Lee imbues this classic with exactly the right balance of solemnity and compassion…Lee works with Dumas’s text to give each character complexity and emotion. The listener regrets the story’s end, wishing to live with Edmund and his adventures just a little longer. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“Lee’s deep muscular voice works well for this swashbuckler…His reading is highly expressive, his pace brisk, his tone rich with foreboding.” Kliatt (audio review)
“A piece of perfect storytelling.” Robert Louis Stevenson
