My daughter loved this story so much, she wanted to listen to it twice in a row and has asked for it again now that it has finished... The story was lovely - it is such a beautiful relationship between father & son.
The narrator Peter Serafinowicz has a wonderfully pleasant voice!

Heart warming story with a good amount of tension. With characters rendered in classic Roald Dahl fashion.
