Many differences from the movie.

I grew up watching Judy Garland in the movie made from this book - so many differences between the two made for an interesting read...

I thought the narrator was Kathy Bates!

This was a great little story. I’d only ever seen the movie before, so it was nice to hear the original source material. The narrator was terrific and had different voices for each character. I thought it was Kathy Bates narrating and I’m shocked that it wasn’t because this woman sounds just like her to me! Great story and great narration.

Fantastic Narrator!

Love the narration. I happen to like this version much more than the one done by a famous actress.

A childhood favorite

Wizard of Oz is my 7 year old’s favorite book. The voice and reading of this audio is superb, making it easy to listen on repeat.

Wondrous reading of great classic!

Anna Fields does a masterly job of narrating this timeless classic. She has a wonderful voice and handles characterizations well, from the wicked witches to Dorothy, the cowardly lion, the wizard and others notable characters including the mouse queen. I look forward to hearing more titles narrated by Ms. Fields, including the sequel to Wizard of Oz.

That’s why it’s a favorite!

I can understand now why this story is a favorite; this book is so much better than the movie!!!! This is a heartwarming children’s story with all the repetitions and adventures you’d hope to find. I easily lost interest in the movie version but this book got me hooked. And the narrator is wonderful!
