Part of the monthly free Audible originals.
A nice narration of the well known story.

Not rating this one because I genuinely could not see past all of the "of the time" issues to evaluate the story on its own merits. The sexism was abundant, and the racism was even worse. And the dialogue was awkward at best. Genuinely, skip the book and just enjoy the adaptations.

Like undermining the emotional climax of the book during Tinker Bell's death by having her mutter "you silly ass" one more time.positivelybooked's review against another edition

I don't know what it is about me wanting to read classics this year but here we are.
This has always been one of my favorite Disney movies so, when I saw this edition at Barnes and Noble, I knew that I had to have it. Reading this as an adult takes a bit of joy out of it though.

Ondanks dat veel aspecten in dit boek, zoals de rol van vrouwen en hoe de native americans worden geportretteerd, toch enorm gedateerd zijn, blijft het een leuk fantasieverhaal dat met een serieuze korrel zout genomen moet worden. In vergelijking met de nieuwere versies is er veel meer geweld en zelfs moord aanwezig, verwacht dus niet de onschuldige Disney versie.
