SINBAD AND THE PIRATE PRINCESS

Lavish sound effects and music weave through this Persian fairy tale, narrated by an ensemble cast. Hear the swords swinging and the sailors shouting as Sinbad the adventurer, portrayed by Mark Redfield, encounters the Pirate Princess Junah, portrayed by Caroline Munro. Redfield's Sinbad is a bold rogue intrigued by Junah, who sounds restrained and ethereal. Storyteller Scheherazade, portrayed by Mary Ann Perry, holds listeners with her enticing voice. The cast's engaged performance keeps the fairy tale from being too campy as Junah faces the ruthless Queen Badra of Xelos (Martine Benswicke) while Sinbad's djinn awaits his summons. Although the lurid cover suggests otherwise, this audiobook is appropriate for families and those who relish magical hijinks layered with sound effects.
