The House at Pooh Corner

A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics, Volume 2

De: A. A. Milne

Narrado por: Peter Dennis

"One day when Pooh Bear had nothing else to do, he thought he would do something, so he went round to Piglet's house to see what Piglet was doing." Thus begins The House At Pooh Corner, A.A. Milne's wonderful companion volume to Winnie-the-Pooh. You will rediscover Pooh, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, and all their friends, and be introduced to the irrepressible and very bouncy Tigger.

Blackstone Audiobooks presents, from the unabridged collection A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics, the 10 simple and timeless tales of The House At Pooh Corner performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these enthralling stories authorized by A. A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin, who wrote, "Peter Dennis has made himself Pooh's Ambassador Extraordinary and no bear has ever had a more devoted friend. So if you want to meet the real Pooh, the bear I knew, the bear my father wrote about, listen to Peter."

As you begin to listen to this beloved book, you'll enter that enchanted place on the top of the Forest where "a little boy and his Bear will always be playing".

In Which A House Is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore
In Which Tigger Comes to the Forest and Has Breakfast
In Which A Search Is Organized, and Piglet Nearly Meets the Heffalump Again

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This latest addition to the Pooh Classics, the 10 unabridged stories from The House at Pooh Corner, is a must....[Peter Dennis's] intelligent and whimsical readings, meant for adults and children alike, are captivating." (The Los Angeles Times)
"Actor Peter Dennis turns in a meltingly lovely narration. His voice is calm and friendly, yet he manages distinctive voices for each of the characters....This is an imaginative production to boot, with original music and sound effects. In many productions, sound effects are too loud and compete with the narration, but this is the first one to have gotten the balance just right." (Philadelphia Enquirer)

Charming, fun and gentle

My five and seven year-old sons love this audio book. I've tried to read the Pooh stories aloud (there is a knack, which I don't possess) so we all appreciate the excellent narration of these stories. Also, this is a great bed-time selection, as the pace and action are gentle.
These are not too babyish for young grade school listeners -- the language is much more sophisticated than in the Disney videos, although the characterizations are similar.

Love the narrator

Would you listen to The House at Pooh Corner again? Why?

Yes.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the Pooh stories, and I absolutely loved Peter Dennis' reading of the stories.

What does Peter Dennis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Once you hear his voices of the characters, you can't listen to any other interpretation of the Pooh stories.

Great for preschooler and elementary kids

Peter Dennis does a great job narrating this story. He does different voices for each character and performs the story very well. His voice captures you, vs other narrators that can bore you. The story’s are short which help to keep the attention of my son. Highly recommend.

Perfect for Children and the Wife!

These Winnie the pooh stories were very entertaining to listen to, Peter Dennis did a wonderful job narrating.
Of course I've been spoiled by the great voice work by the international animations with an all star cast, but after the adjustment, the characterization was spot on.

I can confirm that my wife did indeed cry because of how well done this was. I highly recommend this audiobook.

A treasure with new dimensions because of the effective performance

It is such a joy to revisit Pooh. I had not realized the wit of Milne but he puts great thought into every word , starting with the introduction in which owl is quoted as explaining that the opposite of an introduction is a contradiction. Peter Dennis gives each character a voice that aligns with their identity, and it is such a delight to revisit Pooh’s world. We all need the thoughtfulness of the creatures at Pooh Corner now.
