About this listen

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.

I most liked that Charlie went to the chocolate factory and what I dislike is that a thought that Charlie and his family would starve to death.

Charlie the chocolate boy!

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this short story. Takes me way back to when I was younger and this title was my fav ever book at the time. Full 5 stars all round. Narrator was brill and I liked the added extras. Only downside,it was a very short story. Could have expanded the story a bit more but I still enjoyed.

What a great listen. Read the book lots of time but this audiobook beats doing that. Full 5 stars *****
