Unabridged

The story is of course beautiful! Our family children aged, 4,6&8 thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.

We enjoyed the narrator, her Yorkshire accent was a lovely bonus. We would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the music accompanying each chapter. We found the music both annoying and unnecessary.

Love this narrator

A classic story, in my view this is the best reading of it on audible, lovely interpretation of the Yorkshire dialect without over-egging it, just a wonderful voice to listen to, the descriptions of nature are sublime, the different characters are well defined in the narration. Bravo!

This version is perfect

I loved the narration of this book - even the Yorkshire accents (and I come from Yorkshire!) A delightful escapist experience but with a moving core of truth about the natural world and the need for love and attention . A long time since I read this as a child, but if anything it is more charming as an adult.
