CHARLEMAGNE by Richard Winston

Narrated by Charlton Griffin

     Prototype of Holy Roman Emperors to Come

This book filled in some gaps in my understanding of  the history of Western Civilization but failed to thrill me as some other periods of history were able to do.

Charlton Griffin is a fine choice for narrator here. The production values employed here are quite high. I particularly enjoyed the treatment of quotations in this audiobook: When quoting, Griffin’s voice is given some reverb, thus setting the quotation material apart from the explanatory text.
