Exceptional clarity

Very expressive reading, and exceptional clarity. The narrator has clearly studied the material; his voice carries authority.

Great narrator in Nick Sandys

Sonnet 29, in Chapter 30 on the rotation, is awe-inspiring. When in disgrace with Fortune and Men's Eyes....
Magnificent. Thank you, Amazon.
