From AudioFile

Listeners young and old will find plenty to enjoy in Beaver Towers. Nigel Lambert's narration greatly enhances this magical adventure in which a young boy thwarts the evil witch, Oyin. His energetic reading builds drama and suspense and captures the humorous vein of the story. His interpretation is so graphic that the listener can draw vivid images of the hero, Philip, and the hilarious band of animals he saves. Lambert succeeds not only in producing an impressive array of voices, but also in creating the illusion of space and movement, and in doing so adds great auditory depth. B.M.W.
