A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other. Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall.

Reviews
Reviewer: FixItDad65 - 9/6/2008 0:56 Subject: Classic children book There are various readers for this tale. The quality varies from from poor to very good.
Reviewer: aratbag - 11/29/2008 0:30 Subject: The tale most excellent, the readers not so. A childhood story that I have not visited for many years but is still very enjoyable. I am sorry to say that this otherwise enjoyable item is let down by the book being read by a variety of readers. They are all very good in their way, but the pronouncement of certain words grates and the quality and volume varies considerably. If you can endure varied accents, please give it a go.
