Would you consider the audio edition of The Enchanted Wood to be better than the print version?
No, there is always merit to reading stories yourself and making the characters your own
Who was your favorite character and why?
Love them all for nostalgic reasons, though they aren't actually always very nice people... I found the children, and even the 'adults' Silky, Moonface and Saucean Man to be really mean at times. Especially to Connie in The Folk of The Faraway Tree, who yes, was annoying, but realistically not as unpleasant or arrogant as the others!
Would you listen to another book narrated by Kate Winslet?
I have downloaded and listened to this series, but I dont know about any others. Kate was very good and I liked the way she portrayed most of the characters, but it was odd listening to someone so familiar. Think i prefer unknowns, or the ones that do it very well (Stephen Fry for eg)
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
To annoyance yes.. Why on earth were the names changed from Bessie and Fanny to Beth and Franny?? I found that very odd, and a weird insult to the original tale by Enid Blyton.

I bought this series for my son to listen to on the short hops to and from school. It's his nanny's favourite series. He loved them and sometimes didn't want to get out of the car when we got home. Certainly recommended for infant age kids on a car journey

Any additional comments?
These books were my favourite when I was a child and I've loved listening to them all over again as brought to life by Kate Winslet. My children also love them and roared laughing particularly at the deaf old Saucepan Man and we've been on several very long journeys without the usual squabbles and mithering. Highly recommend.

I have loved this classic story since childhood and was very disappointed and confused by the unnecessary name changes that have occurred.
Why is Bessie now Beth and why is Fanny now Franny. It doesn't make sense ?
What a shame. Apart from this, the story is as good as always.
Not so sure kate winslet as the narrator however, I do think having someone famous or identifiable to that level is distracting from the story. (I think this for most famous people narrating audiobooks)

This is a captivating story and the storytelling suits it perfectly. Kate Winslet keeps the narrative going and conveys the action so that the children were riveted. Brilliant!
