Interesting to see how many folk - myself included - come to this in search of a balm for stress. I’m 52, at the time of posting this comment, and suffering terribly with anxiety, depression, stress, etc. A charming story, such as this, well read - and Briers has the perfect slightly plummy thespian delivery - can be so soothing. As others have alluded to, there’s also a brilliant animated version, by Cosgrove Hall (who also brought us Dangermouse & Count Duckula!), which is definitely worth watching. Thanks for sharing…
I urge all ages to listen to all 3 parts of this story... something so comforting and a beautiful break from the madness of the pandemic. Stay safe, sweet humans.
Just started , I used to listen to it when I was little with my grandad who is sadly no longer here, he was my best friend and I think about him everyday! Listening to this makes me feel so calm and at peace , it’s incredible how it takes u back x
@@markussixtenstam105 Well,youngster I am 76 read it seventy years ago and still love it It is slow living and suits us I used to laugh at Toad the first time round so much I cried real tears Loved little mole and Ratty !
so you find no comfort or relaxation from the natural world around you...cannot understand people who wander around our beautiful countryside plugged into audio devices.
This is one of my favorite books. And when i was a child my father and i saw the movie back in the 80 s. Now is my father dead. But he liked it. For me this is a pure bliss a delight.
What a joyous memory 🥰I hope my children remember how we listened to this book every night during 2015 and 2016 while I was going through a divorce from their father. I put the tape on at night and we settled in together, it was lovely
Lovely story narrated beautifully. If you want to know the ideal England, and hierarchy of worth among creatures and how one keeps order in the land and peace among them you must read Wind in the Willows.
Wonderful reading voice. Thank you so much! I can lay in bed with the iPad on the bed stand and get a bonafide bedtime story told perfectly, splendidly and with enthusiasm.
@@FigaroHey yeh I agree @joanofarc33 I do exactly the same I lie in bed with my iPad On my bedside table and close my eyes to teleport to me dream land 😴
I found the complete works on cassette tape at the library book sale about 6 years ago. All four books and we listened in the loft every night! The boys love it and they ask to do the characters!
Those food descriptions made me hungry and thirsty XD. I’m loving this audio book! I’ve been curios to check out the wind in the willows. I love the actors narration of it.
Can’t belive I found this after 18 years ... I used to pause the tape and record my own sound effects... play it back at the end with a nice cup of tea. Haha
This was excellent to listen to during lockdown, so glad it's still up :) I've listened and seen so many adaptations and remember thoroughly enjoying this one
My parents had this on tape, we used to listen to it in the car when I was little, remember it fondly, really good to listen to while doing uni work, still entertaining all these years later. Thanks for the upload
I couldn't agree more! Both with your thanks for the upload and with missing the great Richard Briers! This version is so incredibly good. So many different voices, all done so perfectly. This is the one I grew up with and now any other version sounds somehow wrong!
Thank you for posting this!I agree with you both: John petley-jones and Jennifer mcdonald I absolutely adore this reading I hope this you tuber gets far in life
This truly is one of the classics! With Richard Briers as narrator it is perfection. What an enormous shame the story is abridged, some of the best parts are missing, and now it can never be remedied. Every single word of this marvellous book is a gem, not one of them can be omitted without loss. Thank you very much for uploading this great book
Fine performance: This classic tale is both wonderful for adults or children. I find it sad however after so many auditions I'm the only other person who's made a comment. Sign of the times for sure.
BBC Young Collection Audio Cassette published in 1989. . and not to forgett Winnie The Pooh. . No matter your age, there is enjoyment for everyone in these witty, intelligent and touching storys. . Yes, indeed, that was the best time of our lives, Cheesemouse :)

Bed time?anyone only me ok... If you are in bed how are you laying aka I am Snuggled up with this audiobook cuddling a heat pack to keep me warm cause my radiator does not work :( but it’s fine cause I have sanna and moody plushies sitting on the due of my bed next to me :) 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 Edit:Thanks for posting this it gets me to sleep on the spot 💤 I love this audiobook ❤️ and am so happy I found it 😊
My absolute favorite book along with “Make Way for Ducklings” Another excellent set of “Wind in the Willows” are the records from Pathways of Sound - narrated by Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Hume especially!! These were the first audios I heard so I am having difficulty getting used to different voices. My records are scratchy because I’ve listened to them for decades.
I was school age when I heard this for the first time and it's been with me for the rest of my life. I hope it'll be with you for the rest of yours. It's over a hundred years old and is only made better by watching it performed on a stage. I'm really glad you're enjoying it 😊
This is pretty good. Briers' great masterpiece performance was Bertie Wooster on BBC radio. Sadly, not nearly as many as I wish there had been. Only 17 hours. Wish it was 1700 hours.

Thank you - this is my favourite all-time story to listen to - morning - noon - and night. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
This book reminds people to stick with and help their friends through good and also difficult times. Because... they're your FRIENDS!
2024. Happy to find this comforting voice from childhood listening to the tape at night on my bedroom as I fall asleep. Beautiful tones!
I read The Wind in the Willows to my sister, once a year. This has been abridged, but the narrator is terrific.
I’m loving this narration. It’s very slow paced and calming
I agree
it's not slow-paced at all, it's too fast. it sounds like it's sped up.
😮
I love this narration
I listen to this every night as am falling asleep! Love it!

This is perfect! Brilliant choice of Richard Briers to narrate - love his interpretation of the various characters' voices.

Wholeheartedly agree!

Rat is the kind of friend everyone should have.
Wonderful. ❤
Nearly 300k views but only 663 subs a shame for such a good listen
Im only listening to this because my schools closed cuz of COVID-19 and this is only for my homework but its really good

such good impressions!
Let's be honest, Toad needs to get dipped in formalin and pinned to a slab of wax.
The author didn't think so.
Lovely read from Canada
In the comments there should be the times of when the songs start
Richard Briars, God Rey’s his soul, is there a more comforting voice?
Ahhh sorry but may I say I do not really like your profile picture it scared me 😦
2021?? Me too!
