What did you like most about The Wind in the Willows (Dramatised)?

I love this dramatisation of the wind in the willows it is the best i have heard of this classic story with a full cast and sound effects you wont find any better than this production.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All the characters of the wind in the willows are my favourite but i do love toad as many will agree as he seems to be everyones favourite.

What does Dramatisation bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The cast members make this dramatisation come to life as does the sound effects i suppose its a complete package. The songs are great and its probably the best version of this classic tale.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I have listened to this many times and i even bought the audio CD from amazon.

Any additional comments?

I will never get tired of listening to this dramatisation its just fantastic.

The Ultimate Dramatisation

I remember this from childhood and wanted to download so my son could enjoy it as I did. He is a little young to follow the story but enjoys the narration and in time I know he will love it. The great thing is it's entertaining for adults to listen to and an absolute classic unlike some more modern audiobooks for children. 100% recommend, beautiful narration. Loved it.

I loved this version as a child and listened to it again as an adult. Wow. It has not lost any of its charm and I enjoyed every minute of it. The cast are incredible, the accompanying music adds to the tale and the classic characters feel personalised and likeable.
Toady and Moley are my personal favourites and I often quote from this audiobook as it has brilliant one liners, yet still very true to Kenneth Grahame’s original text.
BBC children’s classics at its finest!

Brilliantly dramatised version of a timeless classic!
