Alison Larkin Presents: The Happy Prince and Other Stories
あらすじ・解説
B.P. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, December 2020
Golden Voice narrator Simon Jones perfectly narrates these sweet, tender fairy stories about princes, giants, nightingales, and roses. The collection begins with the timeless story of the Happy Prince, a young nobleman who in life sought only pleasure but in death, as a gold-encrusted statue, provides help to those in need.
Currently starring in the HBO TV series The Gilded Age, Simon Jones’ film and theater credits run to multiple pages, from Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life to playing King George in Downton Abbey (the movie) and Arthur Dent in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Simon Jones recently won an AudioFile Earphones award for his narration of Right Ho, Jeeves by P. G. Wodehouse, also for Alison Larkin Presents.
Story Order: "The Happy Prince", "The Selfish Giant", "The Remarkable Rocket", "The Nightingale and the Rose", "The Young King", "The Birthday of the Infanta", "The Star Child", "The Fisherman and His Soul", "The Devoted Friend", "The Canterville Ghost", "Lord Arther Saville’s Crime".
The bonus story in this collection, exclusively for Audible, is "The Model Millionaire".
“Alison Larkin Presents classics are always delightful because they are so easy to listen to. Choosing Simon Jones to narrate Oscar Wilde was an inspired idea. Listeners will be enchanted.” (Michael Gates Gill)
批評家のレビュー
"With a gentleman's grace and a finely tuned ear for character voices, narrator Simon Jones does a wonderful job bringing to life this collection of children's fairy tales by one of the English language's greatest wits. Expanding on the original five stories, first published in 1888, this collection adds seven other gems, including the beguiling 'Canterville Ghost', which gives Jones a chance to exercise a few of his comic American accents. Although written for children, Oscar Wilde's unique twists on children's literature are a little edgier, a bit more playful, a trifle wiser, and a lot more fun than your average fairy-tale fare. And with Simon Jones at the helm, the whole production is nothing less than enchanting." (AudioFile Magazine, December, 2020)
