About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Reign of King Oberon by Walter Jerrold. Read in English by Bryn Roberts. In all the annals of Fairyland nothing is more wonderful—and the annals are found in many hundreds of volumes—than that chapter which tells of the reign of the true fairy King Oberon and his beautiful wife Titania, who is sometimes called Queen Mab. Marvellous are the doings of Oberon’s little subjects in every land—good fairies and bad fairies, dwarfs, elves and sprites, brownies, pixies and gnomes, pucks, trolls and kobolds and Robin Goodfellow—and marvellous are the tales which have been told of them by travellers in the fairy realms. - Summary by Walter Jerrold
