Only listen to the audiobook version. Honestly this is one of the greatest book recordings that I've ever listened to. It's truly an experience, and you won't want to stop listening. Throughout the story there are subtle and unique sound effects that are gorgeous, such as dwarves working in the mines. You haven't heard the sounds of a forest till you've heard it here! Even better are instrumental soundtrack music in intervals. These play just at the right times and you feel as if you're listening to an epic movie soundtrack. The voice actors are brilliant as well, especially the voice of the Queen, which sounds naturally royal. I'm so glad that this was the first Neil Gaiman story that I read!
