So many voices done perfectly. Clearly enunciated, delivered with energy, not quite stereotypes and so accurate and funny...Richard Briers is truly a great... Great talent!!
Listened to all 3 discs over and over im listening to disc 3 whilst writing this message, then it will send me to sleep beautiful. Thank you for doings these.
Beautiful story and brilliant Richard Briers narrating it . Takes me back to an innocent childhood and innocent time. This story was on national TV in my country where I listened to it with enchanted attention and a vivid imagination.
You are quite right that this is the best-ever narration of "The Wind in the Willows" - I only wish there were more of it to listen to! Did Richard Briers ever record the unabridged version of this book?
Outstanding performance. I'm not british and I don't understand each and every word but the language is so varied and describing that the landscapes and sights grow out of the speakers as Richard Briers weaves the stories so masterful. I have to ask though: Some passages from the unabridged version are omitted and the chapter "The piper at the gates of dawn." is completely missing. Any particular reason for this? Tradition? Too scary for children? Conflict with the album name of Pink Floyd? Why?
I absolutely love Wind in the Willows, what a lovely book, it's my favourite, I could listen to it over, over and over again.
Loved every minute of this story
Thank-You, that was lovely!!
I'm sad it's over. The narrator was brilliant. Made me smile so much.
Sir Richard Briers you mean ?
Whenever they abridge a book, they always take all my favourite bits out.
Absolutely delightful. Beautifully narrated. Thank you.
