Gretel and the Case of the Missing Frog Prints

In crisp upper-crust tones, Kate Reading narrates this charming mystery, set in a land filled with Grimm's characters. Gretel, detective extraordinaire, investigates the loss of Albrecht DŸrer's "Frog" print, stolen from a descendant of the same name. Talking mice, hobgoblins, princesses, officers, and military men are just a few of the amazing characters listeners meet, all expertly performed by Reading. Every character--from Hans to Wolfie, from Ferdinand von Ferdinand to Police Inspector Strudel and Gottfried the mouse--has its own accent and tones--depending upon his or her personality. Reading shifts personas flawlessly while Gretel follows clues small and large, just a few steps ahead of the law. This cleverly crafted mystery is full of wry humor, which Reading reads without a snicker. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
