Editorial Reviews:
One of the finalists of the Naxos Audiobooks/The Times Voice of the Year competition, narrator Richard Cuthbertson's performance of Hans Christian Anderson's "The Flea and the Professor" is a perfect example of classic storytelling. A self-styled professor and his trained flea travel around the world doing performances until they reach a kingdom run by a spoiled eight-year-old princess. The princess claims the flea for her own, but the professor hatches a plan to escape with his insect partner. Young listeners will be delighted by Cuthbertson's lighthearted narration, which contains the ideal amount of embellishment for a fairy tale.
