From AudioFile:

A delightful exploration of cultures, these two volumes tell the stories of walls from all over the world. The author delivers the stories in a slow, deliberate manner, giving the listener, young or old, the chance to absorb the wealth of fascinating information offered here. Each story is introduced with sounds or songs native to that particular corner of the earth. The production is given still more color and flavor with the addition of poetry readings by a number of poets at the opening and closing of each book. All of these elements combine to make the single-cassette recording one that can be well-appreciated by children and adults alike. J.J.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
