When we saw that Heirloom Audio Productions was back on the review list
I was excited. When we were picked to review Beric The Briton we did back-flips…O.K. not literally.
This historical fiction story from G. A. Henty has been brilliantly
depicted in audio form. These are unlike any other audio book and are NOT
simply a book-on-CD. These mirror the old-style radio dramas and theater, like
our parents and grandparents listened to in the 20’s and 30’s. Heirloom audio
is complete with voice actors and sound effects. No one creates an audio
book/drama like Heirloom Audio Productions. They bring you in and you feel as
if you are in the Coliseum in Rome with the Gladiators.
BACKGROUND:
The story deals with the invasion of Britain by the Roman
legionaries. Beric, boy-chief of a British tribe, takes a prominent part in the
revolt under Boadicea. Ultimately, Beric is defeated and carried captive to
Rome, where he is trained as a gladiator. With this training, he uses it in
saving a Christian maiden by slaying a lion in the arena. His reward is to
become the personal protector of Emperor Nero. Later, he escapes from Rome,
organizes a band of outlaws, and lastly returns to Britain, where he becomes a wise
ruler.
The two-hour audio version of this classic provides
thrilling excitement that you will see on your families faces. These adventures
keep the attention of anyone listening.
The story of Beric the Briton tells of history and life
lessons. It will teach children and reemphasized
to adults, the message of enduring trials and tribulations and the importance of standing firm.
As times get harder for conservative, God-fearing people, we
need to be instilling these values in our children.
