Our Take:
Having heard the production when it was first released, I’m a firm believer that this series is going to take off due to the producers’ high standard of quality entertainment for families. If you love Adventures in Odyssey, Focus on the Family Radio Theatre, and Lamplighter Theatre productions, then The Extraordinary Adventures of G.A. Henty are right up your alley! The acting is superb with sound design and cinematic music that puts you in the story as the events unfold.
