Story5 out of 5 stars 4,441
Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits. As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 982
A little magic can take you a long way. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends - Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!

These tales, from the golden age of classic children’s literature, enchant both children and adults alike. The listener will be transported into the charming world of the "Riverbank", the grandeur of Toad Hall, the darkness of the Wild Wood as we share the adventures of capable Ratty, the trusting and innocent Mole, the wise Badger, and the conceited but irrepressible Toad. The stories are humorous, exciting, occasionally scary, and at the same time comforting, because of the wonderful bonds of friendship and camaraderie which bind the four principal characters.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 337
Eleven-year-old Alex Petroski loves space and rockets, his mom, his brother, and his dog, Carl Sagan - named for his hero, the real-life astronomer. All he wants is to launch his golden iPod into space the way Carl Sagan (the man, not the dog) launched his Golden Record on the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. From Colorado to New Mexico, Las Vegas to LA, Alex records a journey on his iPod to show other lifeforms what life on Earth, his Earth, is like.

Wonderful performance of a true classic.
The Wind in the Willows is a story perfect for all ages and the language is just lovely. This particular version is perfect. Mr Hordern' voice, theatricality, even the speed which he reads is spot on for this classic. I honestly cannot think of anything that would improve the hours I spent listening.

Good book to put yourself and your child asleep to
didn't like it when I was a child, still don't like it. From a Child's View; Toad was wasteful, stubborn, rude and whining. I would be called this when I fit the desription. Ratty was kind, resourceful, helpful and shared Not so often. From an Adult Point of view; found the story dragging. I skipped a few parts because they were sooo slow.

Astounding performance.
Michael Hordern is exquisite as the reader. He is far and away the best reader of what I consider one of the best books ever written.

Toad gets himself into trouble
A few times I laughed at what toad was able to get away with. I was genuinely intrigued at what happened on the island when they found the lost critter. Badger was my favorite character.

Listened to this version multiple times
I loved this narrator. His cadence was very comforting to me. He was very good at individual voices for each of the characters.

A classic read with charm
Would you consider the audio edition of The Wind in the Willows to be better than the print version?
No. Nothing can replace the cognitive experience of reading printed words. However many of us do have learning disabilities and audio books are a lovely solution. In addition , a book of this quality would be ideally suited for younger readers to listen to as they develop their reading skills. I listened to it while recovering from heart surgery when fatigue made managing a book far too difficult. The lovely gentle adventures and friendships , the beautiful descriptive language - it was all very calming and restorative.
