Nice voice for nostalgic stories

These are stories I grew up with watching on TV and now listening to them brings it all back. Gemma Arterton doesn't quite manage to alter her voice for the different characters but her elocution and clean voice makes this a joy to listen to. My son really seems to like her voice and the stories are wonderful
