THE TIME WARP TRIO SERIES, VOLUME I

Listening Library puts together two stories by author Scieszka that share a common theme--the mysteries of time-travel and magic. The many talents of narrator Dufris are well used as good friends Joe, Sam, and Fred--the "Time Warp Trio"--gallop across time for misadventures with the likes of Merlin, the Knights of the Round Table, and Bluebeard, the pirate. Using clever vocal characterizations, variations in intonation and pitch, and a wide range of emotion, Dufris embues this collection of characters with a range of dramatic style that matches the zany situations the author creates. Dufris's rich narration brings this recording into the realm of radio theater. R.M. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 99]
