About this listen
A magical, captivating tale of adventure set in imperial Russia.
St Petersburg, Russia, 1725.
Katinka Dashkova is running for her life because everything she knows is changing. Katinka, a dazzling ballerina with a hunched back, and her friends, Alexei the Giant and Nikolai the dwarf, are different. That's why they are part of Peter the Great's Circus of Curiosities. But the Tzar is dead, and they must flee the Winter Palace. Guided by a special map, they set out across Russia running for their lives.
An enthralling and delicious blend of history and fiction.
©2019 Robin Scott-Elliot (P)2021 Audible, LtdThe Narrator had a very strong intonation which at times made it difficult to listen. At other times when she over did certain characters, none of us could make out a word & we are native speakers. It is a good thing that we have done away with a role to in English and stretch ourselves to understand everyone. However narration for many hours should not be too much of a chore.
So, on balance the reader could have been more intelligible whatever her country of origin.
Wonderful story for all ages; the whole family loved it. Narrator could have been better.
