ENCHANTMENT

In a variation of the tale of "Sleeping Beauty," Ivan is transported back about a century with his princess. Then unravels a story of magic and a classic struggle of good and evil, with a little time-travel and a sprinkling of fantasy thrown in. Alyssa Bresnahan narrates with enthusiasm, control, and empathy. Her no-nonsense style makes it easy to follow the complicated plot. She does not provide distinct voices for each character, but the dialogue is clear and flows smoothly. The plot is a little hard to follow, but that may be function of the abridgment. J.E.M.
