"What a phenomenal narrator!"
I would recommend this in a heartbeat. The story had gotten old for me after so many years but Anne manages to breathe life into the characters more so than any version of the movie I have ever seen.
The initial scene where they meet Oz. I don't know how she came up with that particular voice for him (apparently, she doesn't either if you've seen the video clip of her talking about doing the narration) but I think it fits the character well.
I certainly would have if I'd had the chance.
Give it a shot. You'll be surprised how much you enjoy a story you've probably already experienced numerous times.
