great adventure story

I loved this performance. It was a wonderful story with very rich, vibrant imagery.

Timeless Story

This story is a timeless adventure story. Colonial Radio Theater is tru to H Rider Haggard's story-no romantic female but a lot of action and excitment. CRT picks the best literature to dramatize!

Excellent Theatre

This was my first experience with a dramatization of a literary classic. The sound effects were first rate! I have never read this book, but I think it would have helped to understand what was happening. I look forward to listening to more from these talented performers!

Diamonds...some the size of a turkey egg...

A brilliant adaptation of Haggard's timeless classic by Jerry Robbins and the Colonial Radio Theater. Follow's the book and great fun for the entire family. And arguably the best expression of this story available, highly recommended!
