The search of an unexplored region of Africa by a group of adventurers, led by Allan Quatermain, for a missing brother, lost while searching for the mythical mines of King Solomon.

poor quality
awesome story, performance of audio terrible. sounded muffled hard to distinguish words. spend the money on a more expensive copy.
This narrator is the absolute worst
Great story but the dude that reads it is painful. I couldn't do it! I had to actually buy another version to listen to!
Classic Adventure Story
I usually seek out Mr. Munro when there is a classic to be read. He usually does not disappoint. His voice seems suited for 18th century literature. I know that classic adventure stories can pale in comparison with plot lines and ease of todays authors. But taking the book as it is for its time I enjoyed it very much.
Loved it....
Old fashioned in so many ways, including language, but of course that is the charm. The locutions hearken to a day when language was happily taken much more seriously. The story is of course fanciful also in an old fashioned way, but slips the reader away into a fantasy land like few others. While dated by language and racist pronouncements, it remains a classic, not disconnected from other classics such as Heart of Darkness, and King Leopold's Ghost. I recommend it, even for young boys learning to stretch their imagination.
Baffling narration
What didnt you like about Alan Munros performance?
The most stilted, unnatural narration I've ever endured. Almost like a machine. Utterly distracting and horrible. I will avoid anything narrated by this chap.
