Stephan Fry is brilliant and his story telling makes my heart so happy. As someone who views all religion as a sort of mythos and knowing Fry is a self described atheist as well, I read and listen to these stories for their window in time and purely for their stories! Fry is one of my favorite story tellers at this point and I will read anything he writes. I only give this one 4 stars simply because it really is so graphic and the death of children is just hard to read/listen to.

Moderate: Sexual assault, Rape, and War

Minor: Violence

The sexual assault is written as if it's not sexual assault. The language around it is quite blase and almost normalising
