""Davies's narration is warm and conversational, as it should be, with flashes of befuddlement and enthusiasm, and the subjects range from the biography of a cricket to the proper appreciation of thermometers. This may not be classic material, but it is certainly enjoyable, and it's interesting to hear a sample of Milne's other work."" -- ""AudioFile""
