From AudioFile:

Twelve-year-old Igraine longs to become a knight, but her family of magicians cant understand her dream. When life at the family castle is threatened by the dastardly Greedy Osmund, Igraines skills in horsemanship and swordplay are pressed into action. Narrator Xanthe Elbrick has just the right touch for Igraine, whose courage and determination overshadow her youth and inexperience. Elbrick employs a superb range of accents for Igraines various sidekicks. She portrays Igraines older brother with a delightful combination of teenage scorn and begrudging pride. Igraines parents, who have accidentally turned themselves into pigs, are simultaneously supportive and piggy. Elbricks effortless-sounding enunciation keeps the action lively but lighthearted. N.M.C.
