Changes

|comment= What a fabulously lively & passionate review - if I hadn't already planned to buy this book for my son I certainly would have after reading this.   

|comment= I ordered the audio book of Gatty's Tale (my son is very dyslexic) only to discover it is abridged, which is disappointing & feels discriminatory. I was initially delighted that the book was actually available in audio format, why oh why do 'they' do this?   

|comment= I don't like the idea of abridging books. If parts of the plot weren't needed, why did the author have them in in the first place? If the author thought them necessary, why have they been omitted from the audio version? I think it comes down to producing something as cheaply as possible to be played within a certain time limit. Jill tells me that the unabridged version is often available from Talking Books for the Blind, only not so soon after publication of the book.  

|comment= This is a magical tail that you cant put down from the moment you pick it up, while Gatty is on her journey you are there with her learning the charartistics of each of the other pilgrims.   

|comment= I read it at last, and it is, indeed, wonderful! I am very glad I did (as it's the second time I took it out).
