I've seen the Spanish and Latin editions at bookstores as well, although I didn't buy those.
Sounds like it's well on its way to being the new version of Le Petit Prince, which I think is available in close to two hundred languages and dialects. I collect editions of that and I currently have 11 editions (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Latin, Serbian, Portuguese, Catalan, Hungarian, and Irish) to use as aids for studying translation techniques.

You should listen to the recording and tell me what you think of the accent.

Well, there's a lot more effort to be authentic than you'll find in most British schools and unis.

But it was spoken with no attempt at inflection.

Interesting. It is a rare distinction in the modern world, it seems. *NM*

I don't think so; only in the Indo-European family.

"All over Asia" is a bit of a stretch.

All the sources I can find say that Mandarin has it.

3 years of formal Mandarin tell me otherwise.

Do either of you know of any sources that speak Classical Greek correctly, tones and all?

Ain't found it. All Americans I know use accents as stress marks rather than tonal inflections. *NM*
