Subject: Don't miss this adventure! Enthralling from the first page to the last. I am in jaw-dropping awe of the adventurer’s bravery, skill, intelligence, and physical stamina. And, I don’t know who reader Allan Chant is, but I know he is no ordinary narrator. Anyone with Mr. Chant’s consummate skill must be a professional of some sort. A trick I learned is that when you stumble upon a top-tier reader, you would do well to enjoy all his works.

Subject: Alan Chant is an excellent reader. This sailor's classic is very well read by Alan Chant. I read the print version many years ago and enjoyed this audiobook much more. There is something about closing one's eyes and letting the reader take you on the voyage that makes reading all the more meaningful to me. Again I commend Mr. Chant on this superb reading. - August 13, 2012Alan Chant is an excellent reader.

Subject: Great Stuff! The reader is superb in tone, expression, enunciation and pronunciation. This is a BE reader of an AE book, but perhaps the time period of the book, and the multi-national topic,lessens any distraction from that. This is a classic book from a simpler, less regulated time in the world. This reading gives it new life in an enjoyable way. - May 15, 2010Great Stuff!

Subject: What an adventure Nova Scotia born, with family roots in New England, Captain Slocum commanded some of the finest tall ships that ever sailed the seas. On April 24, 1895, at the age of 51, he departed Boston in his tiny sloop Spray and sailed around the world single-handed, a passage of 46,000 miles, returning to Newport, Rhode Island on June 27, 1898. This historic achievement made him the patron saint of small-boat voyagers, navigators and adventurers all over the world.

Many thanks, Mr Chant, for your wonderful reading. Highly recommended! - March 17, 2008What an adventure

Subject: Exquisitely read! Alan Chant brings this book to life in such a way that I believe it would fetch a warm smile from Joshua Slocum himself. Sit back and let this reading provide a warm respite. - December 12, 2007Exquisitely read!
