However it will only work if the "circumstances are right". (P)2009 Jimcin Recordings Editorial Reviews: Published originally for children, Charles Dickens purports that actually a seven-year-old girl authored this make-believe tale. The 23-minute story follows a king whose daughter is given a magical wishbone. In the end, this impatient king must learn a valuable lesson from his wise daughter. Walter Zimmerman gives an excellent and appropriately whimsical performance. Utilizing all registers of his voice, he hypnotizes kids and adults alike with this fanciful fable. Moreover, Zimmerman clearly has fun with the characters' assorted voices. This audiobook will get kids laughing and thinking because what kid doesn't like feeling smarter than her parents once in a while?
