Just listened to the most beautiful audio book ever. The author's narration was so captivating & sensitive. Sound effects brilliant too. I had never come across this book before but it will remain a favourite which I will recommend.

Pure Gold
Charlie’s book is an absolutely charming tale, brilliantly illustrated, about love and friendship, worries and anxieties.
Charlie reading it himself with background sounds, takes it to another level altogether. Totally wonderful!
