Me Too as I’m 77 years old and since November 2019 I’ve been going downhill health wise due to That Evil Manufactured Virus. So my life has been shortened 😢I spend alot of time in bed listening to audiobooks. Thank you for this fun time.
I loved this book when I was a kid. Then, to my surprise, I found it on VHS when my children were preschool age. It became one of their favorite movies to watch.
Your voice & the amount of emotion you put into all of the character makes such a difference,also by hearing your voice makes me feel that your a joveal ( excuse spelling, it's not a word I use I often ) man,warm & friendly. Thank you for the story. It's great
I remember seeing several parts of the beautiful animated series with beautiful puppets on Polish TV. With a one-person translation lector, quite apt, but I could not hear the English of the dubbing actors in its full beauty. Not that I knew English at that time, but I loved the music of the language even then. A very long time ago it had been. And I have never had an opportunity to read the book. Mr. Jacobi reading it to me as a bedtime story, at my current age of 58 - is a beautiful way to get to know this beautiful book - at least in its abridged version. Thank you ❤
Thank you so so much for this! I listened to it as a child and no other version sounds quite the same, I've been searching for ages! It's made me very happy!
I like this story time alot feels like my grandpa beans is reading to me I don't care thay who ever can call me what thay what I call it big kid at heart I just can't help my self
This guy was on a Frasier episode and his character was deliberately giving an awful Shakespeare monologue, yet it was still entertaining to hear his rendition of it.
This reading saved my life. In times of awful pain, unbearable depression this send me off to consoling, sustaining sleep. Every time I woke with terrors, I simply put it on again and started the process of calming myself down, I love Derek Jacobi for his talent and his patience in attaining Perfection.
Enjoyed this adaptation of the wind and willows and remember Derek jakobi narrating some stories from Story teller marshall a story book with tape my dad you save up and used to get me every fortnight from the news agent. Happy memories.
Derek Jacobi Is Best Known As The Voice Of Mr Narrator In The 2007 BBC Studios And Ragdoll Productions Children's Live Action Television Series In The Night Garden The Original Series. Thanks Mate. X
Sir Derek Jacobi is a well established stage and film actor with a great voice. He was in Underworld with Kate Beckinsale and Gladiator with Russel Crowe to name some of the big movies. He also narrates the ghost stories of M.R.James which I highly recommend.
This is marvelous! I love Derek Jacobi’s narration!! And it does say ‘abridged’ which can mean most anything. I, too, love the Brother Cadfael readings by Mr. Jacobi. Can they be brought back?
My sentiments exactly I miss Cadfael there are only 2 the holy thief and the potters field. Lost count how many times I have seen them. Please bring back more 🙏
@@sunriseproductions4983 Thank you for this delightful audio book. Btw, you did include the word "Abridged" in the title. So you do not need to apologize.
Sir Derek Jacobi is a well established English stage, TV and film actor. Some of the big movies he was in are Underworld with Kate Beckinsale and Gladiator with Russel Crowe. On British TV he is famous for TV series such as "I,Claudius"(obviously set in Roman times) and "Cadfael" where he plays a medieval monk who solves mysteries. He has a beautiful voice and is high in demand for reading books from literally children's classics such as "The Wind in the Willows" to the ghost stories of M.R.James.
Some things are worth waiting for. Have just finished listening to this classic book for the first time in my 70 years. Better late than never.
same for me @ 60!

When all else fails this is my ‘go to’ for sleep!
Thank you Kenneth, Derek and All :) Hx
And ‘sweet dreams’ to anyone else who needs them zzzzzzzzz……
Brilliantly read by Derek loved it and I am 73
Took me back to childhood. Derek Jacobi is brilliant.
My first association with him was 'Secret of NIMH', as Nicodemus 😊
He is but Michael Horden's unabridged rendition on audible is superb.
I loved this book when I was a kid. Then, to my surprise, I found it on VHS when my children were preschool age. It became one of their favorite movies to watch.
I hope you went to the library, borrowed it and read it to your children also!
I love this story, and Mr Jacobi is one of my very favorite Actors!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
The best narration of any book I've heard to date!!!
All the characters are created so well by Sir Derek Jacobi! Accents, pacing - it's great. This book has wonderful, visual scenes. What a great find.
I was thoroughly charmed by a narcissistic toad, thanks to Mr. Jacobi's brilliant performance.
Bravo Darrick- narration is outstanding. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Lovely story narrated by one of the best story tellers of all time, Sir Derek Jacobi - absolutely brilliant !
Priceless! Completely priceless!!
A wonderful book and so nicely read. I remember when I was an 11 years old it was a project book at school. 5*!!
So beautifully narrated! Each voice is loaded with personality. Such a treat, thank you. I adore Moley.
I'm 57, and thoroughly enjoyed this delightful whimsical tale. Thank you!!
I love this narrator so much wow
He’s an excellent actor.
Now that, is a perfect story, narrated by a perfect human being. Thank you.
Brilliantly read Derek. Thankyou. You can't get better than your enthusiasm and expression in your voice. Cheers, John (Australia).
Use to read books on RUclips it was terrific the people who loved hearing books. Thanks
As a child I greatly enjoyed “I Claudius” with Derek Jacobi.
I had a cat called Claudipus in honour of that marvalous drama, which I still have on DVD. 😊
Your voice & the amount of emotion you put into all of the character makes such a difference,also by hearing your voice makes me feel that your a joveal ( excuse spelling, it's not a word I use I often ) man,warm & friendly.
Thank you for the story. It's great
Jovial 😉
It's not the guy reading who uploaded the video

Jacobi
Because he’s great actor.
Derek Jacobi is one of my favorite narrators. He did a fantastic job with “Voyage of the Dawn Treader” and “Tales from the Perilous Realm”.
He is also fantastic at reading ghost stories as he really brings the works of M.R.James to life.
I remember listening to this EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. when I was younger.
every single night my ass
This guy was on a Frasier episode and his character was deliberately giving an awful Shakespeare monologue, yet it was still entertaining to hear his rendition of it.
That episode was hilarious.
Is this not the best voice ever! Thank you Mr Jacobi.
Can't get enough of Wind in the willows. TY for your time of putting it on YT.
I read this book out loud to my 4 boys , I am going to listen again!
I still remember this book from my childhood!
I love this story and this version is as good as all the best. An absolute pleasure!
Very nice audio.

As a young boy, this book kickstarted reading for me
Listening for the first time. Thus nice for children. I liked animal stories when I was young. Like Winnie the Poo and Uncle Remus Tales
Really enjoyed this bedtime story ☺️ thx for sharing 😊
Awesome story! Takes me right back! Thank you for sharing!
A step back in time, childhood memories

No. He’s best known in “I Claudius”
Pointless if it’s abridged
@@internetpolification And He Was In The King's Speech The Movie In 2011. Awesome. X

Mole is from the West Country methinks but sometimes he’s Samwise Gamgee and sometimes he sounds Hagridy.
Very enjoyable Derek jacobi read the story just brilliantly can't wait for the next one
Absolutely wonderful! ❤
This is marvelous! I love Derek Jacobi’s narration!! And it does say ‘abridged’ which can mean most anything. I, too, love the Brother Cadfael readings by Mr. Jacobi. Can they be brought back?

Me too. But he doesn't deafen that by Richard Briers.

Well, this is lovely, of course, but it’s anything but “complete”! The complete book takes six or seven hours to read aloud.
My apologies for the misleading title, glad you enjoyed it though!
