Great story

I had some trouble understanding the north eastern accent of the Yankee. Also the tone was not very clear. I think it is probably a very good production but I did have trouble understanding and hearing everything over the music as well.

Fun and educational

Very fun
Exciting and very funny loved this book so much it is abridged so be carefull when referencing it

Clever adaptation, but —

I still own the Simon & Schuster audio cassette tape of this NBC Theatre production, and it is superior in many respects. In the Audible adaptation, there is a spot where the audio glitches out; as my 30+ year old cassette tape is still clear and intact, I don't see an excuse for audio glitches to be present in this version. If you can overlook what amounts to a ten second hiccough in the recording (fairly early on), this is a fun adaptation. NBC did a great job with the production, and Wally Maher makes an excellent Yankee.
