Publisher's summary

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Critic reviews

"This program exemplifies the potential quality audio has for complementing text. Soothing music introduces and links the stories and verses. Subtle sounds of nature immerse the listener in Pooh's world and provide a backdrop for Peter Dennis' enchanting performance. Dennis' ability to switch characters and moods allows him to accurately portray the range of characters in the stories. These talents shine prominently....Dennis expresses the multitude of emotions in a childlike tone which is key to the success of the program. All ages will enjoy this marvelous performance of Milne's words." (AudioFile)

Who doesn't love Pooh Bear!

A childhood classic! Who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh and tales of Tigger and Eeyore? This was a wonderful addition to my library!

One of the best audiobooks I've heard

Even as a 23 year old male, this was amazing! I loved it, especially the musical interludes.

I

A beautiful classic

These are such lovely stories narrated in the perfect way. These are the real Winnie the Pooh stories. Enjoy them. They're for you.

winner

It reminded me of my childhood, and I shared it with my 3 yr old. We loved listening to it. It was highly entertaining.

Absolute Classic

There is lots here that fairly closely resembles some of the stories done by Walt Disney and company. Walt put in more of a then modern feel to the stories and it worked, I very much love those for what they are and treasure my memories of all their various incarnations. However, me being an old soul, I feel more of a closeness to the original books. They just speak more clearly to me and I highly recommend to anyone to read them.

Still love hearing the stories!

The narrator is great with the characters and it appears he has a lot of love

Loved every story except one

Kidnapping Roo was immoral and unethical. And Rabbit is an asshole. I was really horrified to read that story and wonder what Milne’s intention was.

first time reading the stories

i grew up on the cartoons and wanted to listen to these with my own new child, but I found the voice for piglet so grating i don't think I'll continue on with the series.
