Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

This audio edition of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory is narrated by iconic British actor David Tennant (Doctor Who, Good Omens, Around The World in 80 Days), and is bursting with fantabulous sound effects.

Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this Gold Ticket from Mr Willy Wonka! Tremendous things are in store for you!

Charlie Bucket's life is about to change forever, thanks to one miraculous moment!

Willy Wonka, chocolate maker extraordinaire, has hidden five golden tickets in five ordinary bars of chocolate, and any child who finds one will get the chance to visit his incredible factory.

And Charlie has found one . . . But so have . . .

Augustus Gloop - a glutton for chocolate
Veruca Salt - a spoiled and selfish brat
Violet Beauregarde - a repulsive gum-chewer
Mike Teavee - a television fiend

With a chocolate river, delectable confectionery and mysterious Oompa Loompas, Mr Wonka's factory is the most wondrous place Charlie has ever seen.

David Tennant rapping :))

Excellent! David Tennant renders perfectly all the excitement of discovery in the story. And the emotions at the beginning of it as well. And his rapping to the Oompa-Loompas' songs is absolute delight! Almost better than chocolate!

Absolutely amazing story and reading

Great story and characters worth the credit. One teeny tiny issue is that the songs were a little bit different to my expectations-I thought it’d be the songs from the 2005 movie!
