More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
These audio editions, especially dramatised for BBC Radio, are of timeless stories that have enchanted generations of readers both young and old. The wonder and excitement of these much-loved tales live on in these acclaimed full-cast dramatisations, complete with evocative music and sound effects. The story of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad's escapades, from messing about on the river to poop-pooping in Toad's shiny new car, was vividly brought to life in Alan Bennett's stage adaptation at the National Theatre in 1990, which captured the imagination of a new generation, and introduced many to Kenneth Grahame's classic book for the first time. This BBC Radio 4 full-cast recording features many of the members of the National Theatre production - among them Richard Briers, Leslie Phillips and Terence Rigby - and is narrated by Alan Bennett himself.

Format:Audio CD
I've been waiting for this version to come out on CD for a long time. My tapes, both sets, have worn out! I will never tire of listening to this, despite the fact that I scorn most children's literature nowadays! David Jason's Toad is a complete joy, conniving, self-pitying but loveable all the same, just like Toad should be. This version is atmospheric, funny, beautifully acted and 'comfort' listening of the first order. Forget the modern world and all its PC ways. Sit back and listen and pretend everything's alright - just for awhile...

Format:Audio CD
This has to be the great timeless classic story, beautifully performed with all the style we have growm to expect from the BBC. My children loved this and now my grandchildren have nearley worn out the cd. Great for those long holiday trips the whole family will enjoy it.
I give it 5 stars.

Format:Audio CD
Although more a playscript rather than word for word from the book - it had my children giggling in the car listening to it and keeps them quiet no matter how many times they listen to it.

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson, but it is a little too old for him yet. He gets a little bored with it as he prefers the shorter story. Read more

A bit disappointing!
We tried to listen to this during a long car journey with our 7 year-old and my 79 year-old mother, and despite the all-star cast found it very boring. We didn't make it to disc 2. Read more

Wonderful story & narration
I read "The Wind In The Willows" as a child, many, many years ago and as an adult, felt, rather than reading the book again, I'd let someone else read it to me :)
