"Blackstone has produced the audio book version of The Golden Fleece, perfect for those of us who would like to listen instead of read…The reader's voice is deep and serious, fitting for the nature of the story…The author's incredible use of language and these timeless tales will add much to our studies."

"Williams' voice is a fine match with the text, which is written in a style that is eloquent, but that may seem archaic to the contemporary listener. His deep, resonant voice has something of the quality of an oracle. His delivery is subtly nuanced, and this work will be a real treat for the listener."
