Elizabeth Klett,
Allow me to express my deep gratitude for the time, preparation and effort you put into this reading.
It was just fantastic, I was enraptured with every word, and the pace and emphasis just painted scene after scene effortlessly in my imagination!
I so very much appreciated your reading of Padriac Colum's The Children of Odin. His retelling of these treasured ancient Norse myths are all of them absolute gems.
But the life your breathed into them with every word spoken, made it so much better than reading it.
Your voice, it was as if you were speaking them from memory, all these wonderful sagas, every time I tuned in, I was transported to the realms spoken of herein!
Your reading of the tales, was so comfortably paced, and so fluidly delivered, all of it, down to even the accurate and smooth pronunciation of all the old Norse names, it was all so naturally spoken, I felt like when I sat still, I could image being told them by a Celtic or Druidic Seeress, weaving tales of the Gods and heros by the evening fire to those gathered round in viking halls on a cold night.
Im not sure if you just wanted to procide this for the public or if you have ever considered doing this professionally, but please do! You're a natural!
I think that with books in print, people forget or take for granted, that stories like this were originally passed down orally, because the power of the spoken word, when it comes to Great Myths such as these, really come to life when read aloud.
Youve made a masterpiece, of a masterpiece.
I would absolutely love to hear you do more of these timeless European Myths, if that is possible for you.
But this one captured my heart!
