This review is from: Voyage of the Dawn Treader MTI CD (Chronicles of Narnia (HarperCollins Audio)) (Audio CD)

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is without a doubt an incredible story, but Derek Jacobi's narration of it does not do it justice. Though definitely gifted in Shakespearean roles, he does not seem comfortable reading children's literature and did not sound quite natural in his interpretation of "Voyage." His rendition of Reepicheep was particularly grating on the ears!
