The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

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!

Where did Roald Dahl get all of his wonderful ideas for stories? From his own life, of course! As full of excitement and the unexpected as his world-famous, best-selling books, Roald Dahl's tales of his own childhood are completely fascinating and fiendishly funny. Did you know that Roald Dahl nearly lost his nose in a car accident? Or that he was once a chocolate candy tester for Cadbury's? Have you heard about his involvement in the Great Mouse Plot of 1924? If not, you don't yet know all there is to know about Roald Dahl.

Publisher's Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Matilda by Roald Dahl, read by Kate Winslet.
'So Matilda's strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.'
Matilda is the world's most famous bookworm, no thanks to her ghastly parents.
Her father thinks she's a little scab. Her mother spends all afternoon playing bingo.
And her headmistress, Miss Trunchbull?
She's the worst of all.
She's a big bully, who thinks all her pupils are rotten and locks them in the dreaded Chokey.
Despite these beastly grownups trying to push her down, Matilda is an extraordinary girl with a magical mind.
And she's had enough.
So all the terrible adults had better watch out, because she's going to teach them a lesson they'll never forget!
Kate Winslet's award-winning and varied career has included standout roles in Titanic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Finding Neverland, Revolutionary Road and The Reader, for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Also a highly acclaimed voice artist, she received the Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children for Listen to the Storyteller.

Fantastic story and narration is excellent!!
We absolutely loved this audio book!!! Myself, my kids and even my husband got so carried away with the story on our long road trip, we couldn’t stop listening!
The way the story was narrated by Kate Winslet made it even more brilliant! I am sure it wouldn’t have been the same if someone else read the story.
It is a MUST listen! We were very sad when we finished the book.

Absolutely brilliant
Kate Winslet is an absolute gem and performs the characters with real charm and talent. I’ve always loved this story but her performance brought the story to life in a really special way. So many parts had me absolutely laughing my head off (especially the insults and the children aspiring to rebel against Trunchbulls regime!). I think this is the best audio book on here. Really touching moments too. Loved it!

Kate Winslet an amazing narrator for the best Dahl
We have now heard many narrators, and Kate Winslet is by far the best! I would probably listen to an otherwise boring story just to admire her skill in using her voice. Stunning.

Disappointing narrator
I found the story interesting enough to continue listening to the book despite the super annoying narration and character voices. Also, the narrator would go from whisper to scream so frequently that it made it almost impossible to adjust the volume of the audiobook for comfortable listening.

What's not to love?
What did you like most about Matilda?
I love every bit of the book. It's thoroughly entertaining and Kate Winslet was spectacular.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Matilda?
Several. I love Mrs Trunchball's encounter in class with smart Nigel 'unless-you-want my-middle-name' Hicks; the part where Lavender put the newt in her cup of water, and of course Matilda.
I think this is the best of Roald Dahl's books.
What about Kate Winslet’s performance did you like?
Everything, she made all the parts come to life.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed all the way through.
Any additional comments?
My children also loved it.

Funny and Fanciful
A wonderfully funny childhood book made even better with Kate Winslet's multitude of voices. Brilliant!

Brings back memories
Exceptional story however a little hard to listen to. Parts were softly spoken, while other parts were too loud, not her best performance.

7YR OLD STEP-GRAND DAUGHTER'S 1ST AUDIO BOOK
I gave Matilda (the book) and the audio book along with an iPod to my 7 yr old step-granddaughter for Christmas. She knew the story of Matilda but didn't have the book herself so I thought I would get her both the book and the audio book too. It was her first experience with an audio book and I encouraged her to read-along with the book and audio. She loved it. She said the lady (Kate Winslet) reading the story to her is very good and her voice is lovely. I think audio books, along with the physical book is a great way to encourage children to read. Hopefully she'll be like me and love her audio books and have a vast collection like I do.

Matilda truly is Magic
What a joy! What a delight! The imagery of the former Olympian hammer-throwing school principal Trunchball swinging that poor child by the objectionable pigtails around the classroom & out through the window was hilarious. Kate Winslet vocal representation of each character is divine. Her midland accents & energetic delivery of so many variations is outstanding & astounding. Matilda was the best healing for a hospital stay for both child & adult. Not to be missed& so well produced.

Lovely
The cutest book and most marvelous performance. English is my second language and I hadn't had the opportunity of indulging myself in Roald Dahl's world as a child or a youngster. I am in heavens now!

The best combination
The story is as perfect as always, but the thing that shines the most is Kate Winslet's accent work. Every character is distinct, and each character accent does not bleed into the narrator's voice at all. I finally understand why Kate Winslet has like eight Oscar nominations, I really understand now.

Kate Winslet is awesome!
My daughter & I have listened to this about 4 times over 2 weeks. Kate Winslet’s reading of the characters & hilarious accents are just so good. On top of that, Ronald Dahl’s masterful story telling, character realisations & playful turns of phrase make this an all time classic for both kids & grown ups alike.

Wonderful
I haven’t revisited this book since I was very young. Kate Winslet really brings it to life. Her Trunchbull performance is so hilarious, I was laughing out loud.
