“LEES COMMANDING PRESENCE IS PERFECTLY SUITED for these classic tales of the Klondike, in which animals fight for survival against all odds...He gives Londons work the utmost respect and admiration in his reading while making each story his own through his captivating performance. As he brings every word to life, his enunciation is clear and his tone impassioned. He transports listeners to the desolate north, casting them out into the wild to fend for themselves. Simply stunning.” (AudioFile Magazine)
