I browsed, I saw, I bought!
I was so pleased to see Browns masterpiece on Audible. A thorough history of Eoorup and the Krishtns! Yes, that's how the reader pronounces those words. Peter Brown's speech is as poetic as his writings. A flowing English bard is Peter Brown. So you'd think an English voice would be a good idea. instead an American , and a heavy accent at that is reading this. I am still happy with the purchase. Every chapter is listed so you can brows the chapter easy.

Don't let the length scare you.
A story, a history which manages to cover a huge area of time culture and space in a detail which somehow manages not to overwhelm the listener, the total opposite. The only slight flaw is in the performance. Unfortunately the performer mangled the pronunciation of certain words, the majority of which could easily have been researched before hand. It was particularly hard to hear "Colimbanoose" and others such. That said it was read as if by somebody at ease with the subject which made it a flowing listen overall. I then went and bought the book to have as a reference volume and dig into.
