About this listen

Martin, a kitten, is branded a 'wimp' by his siblings for his friendly interest in mice.

He loves caring for them and can't understand their desire for freedom. Only when he becomes the pet of a big city apartment dweller does he realise why his pets deserted him.

Poor Narration

I have always loved the story of Martin’s Mice — it’s cute and a little unusual and weird and I love that.

I feel that the narrator had no awareness of the character’s personality and misrepresented them. I felt Martin was quiet, thoughtful type of cat but the voice effect of narrator turned these beautiful characters into rather creepy, very creepy! annoying ones with a foreboding and sinister vibe.

It was hard to listen to. Impossible to enjoy.

That made me sad.
