anon from Camberley - By: Book Mad Mother, 04 Feb 2008 
Loved it, as do my 4yr old & 6 yr old. listened to it on the way to school & like the other reviewer had to stop myself carrying on once I had dropped off the children. So good to hear one of the classics as well, reminds me of my childhood!!
Just brilliant - By: i wrote this, 04 Jan 2007 If you are interested in this CD enough to read the reviews then take it from me, you are safe to go ahead & buy it. I got this CD for Christmas & it reallly delivered on every front.
The adaptation itself is brilliant. It covers most of the main events in the classic Arthur legends & gets through them at a cracking pace without ever compromising the epic nature of the stories. The classical music works very well & compliments the production nicely.
Sean Bean gives a first class reading. I've never been a big fan of his 'grim northener' srceen persona but here he uses his distinctive voice to great effect. Children who know him from the Lord of the Rings movies will find a lot to enjoy here,
The CD does not skip over some of the sexual elements & complicated relationships from the legends but manages to convey the events in a way that should be appropriate for most families who want to listen to this together on a car journey or something similair.
I can't give this CD enough praise. I listened to 25 - 30 audio books last year & this one reallly stood out as a wonderful production. When I finished I listened to the whole thing over again. It also sparked my interest in the Authorian legend & led me on to further reading, I can think of no higher recommendation then that.
Beautiful tale, wonderfully read - By: Jess Long, 21 May 2006 You will want to listen to it again & again. I am in my twenties & listened to it on the long drive to work. Suitable for alll ages!
king arthur read by sean bean - By: h brannigan, 16 Aug 2005 Before i bought this I read others reviews, they alll gave it an excellent review so I bought it. We spent most of our holidays when travelling listening to this & we alll from 5years to 40 loved the story, its fantastic.
king arthur - By: emma, 05 Jul 2005 I brought this for my 6 year old son, as he listens to stories at bed time. After literallly wearing out his audio tapes I found this on cd & thought he may like it, although I was a bit worried in case it was too grown-up for him. I had no reason to worry as he has loved it. He has listened to it over & over again. He soaks it alll in & it has even given him such an interest in king arthur that he has been watching some old black & white films to see what the characters looked like. He has impressed his teachers & grandparents on his knowledge of king arthur & the knights, which is alll thanks to this CD. I would highly recommend it & wish more old fables/stories like this were available for children.
