Resumen del Editor

Beatrix Potter's amazing universe of animals dressed in human clothing has taught and entertained children for over a century. This volume brings together 21 of Potter's tales and verses in one audiobook. Hear Peter Rabbit outwit old Mr. McGregor, and Squirrel Nutkin come within a tail's length of being an owl's dinner. Listen as a family of mice save the kind tailor of Gloucester, and as Peter and Benjamin Bunny battle a barn cat. Learn how one fierce rabbit is set on the road to honesty. Although each story stands on its own, several are linked together by events and characters.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Be charmed as virtuoso narrator Katherine Kellgren shares 22 classic adventures of Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Benjamin Bunny, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and more.... Narrating these stories, Kellgren sounds eminently British and appropriately old-fashioned. ("The Tale of Peter Rabbit" was first published in 1902.) Don't mistake old-fashioned for slow, however; her narration is vigorous and fast paced, filled with character accents and songs and even the very authentic-sounding chitters of a squirrel and meows of an angry cat. Good fun." ( AudioFile)

A+ narration to magical tales ✨💞✨

It was beyond lovely to hear Katherine Kellgren narrate these charming stories. I've missed her work so much.

I laughed so often.

She will forever be my favorite narrator.

Overly dramatic reading

Great stories, but the overly dramatic reading takes away from the writing. Maybe small kids would like it.

Beyond Excellent

Beatrice Potter's stories were captured perfectly by this narrator. This was a treat, can't wait to listen again!

Classic but Maybe Not for My Girls!:)

Would you listen to Timeless Tales of Beatrix Potter again? Why?

I bought this collection of timeless tales for my daughters' 5 & 6. I wanted something for bedtime however, the stories are a bit dark. Unfortunately, most of these frightened my girls.

Imaginings abound

Listening to these short stories carried me off to the World Of Beatrix Potter and her delightful tales of little animals. I do recall Ms. Potter almost always had a dangerously fearful climax for the little hero/heroine, until they barely escaped by the skin of their teeth. So for that, I'm not as much a fan, but such is life, and of that the authoress has composed it to be. And how grim it would've been if farmer MacGregor had eaten Peter, Flopsy, Mopsy & Cottontail in a rabbit pie?!

awesome bedtime story!

My daughter loves listening before bedtime, and she falls asleep since it's 3 hours long she has plenty of time to sleep! awesome audio book with a children's favorite classic.

Love the story and the reader.

I had the story on cassette tape and book for my children and now I plan to use this with my grandson. I’ve always loved it.

Classic stories

Great storytelling, soothing narration and voice characterization. I listen with the kids nearly every night at bedtime. The stories are classic and endearing.

Very enjoyable!

Would you listen to Timeless Tales of Beatrix Potter again? Why?

Yes, Because the stories are good and they help me relax.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mr. Todd and Tommy Brock and why because they teach us we shouldn't take what isn't ours and they are so disagreeable that they make me laugh.

Have you listened to any of Katherine Kellgren’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No never have but I will in the future.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All were very nice. Timeless stories.

Any additional comments?

I loved that Ms. Kellgren read with such feeling and passion. You could tell she enjoyed the stories also.
