Fantastic book. it's been a staple in our house for approximately 15 years, we've quoted it and memorized it, referenced and re read countless times. This version particularly read by Dana Ivey is peerless. 10/10 will always recommend, and will always return. It was so good to listen again and to bring back all those memories...
