I listened to this audio book as a child and now I am playing it to my newborn this morning. Brings back some memories of feeling safe and calm.. I hope my son will feel the same way about this book when he is my age. ❤️

Richard Briars such a soothing voice

I'll say it again: this band is TIGHT! Double speed the way I like it!

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.

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?

Perfectly read. A shame that 2 chapters were missed out and a few other parts as well.

2024. Happy to find this comforting voice from childhood listening to the tape at night on my bedroom as I fall asleep. Beautiful tones!

Brings me back to my childhood listening to this on Radio , this version is completely brought to life entirely with the magical voice of Richard Briers , his ability to change his voice and such a range of charachters to impersonate is fascinating

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…

This is the same guy who narrated Frances the Firefly.

Well done!

Thank-You, that was lovely!!

Love this story; sooo good!

👍🏻😛

Very nice voice

Excellent reading

When I’m on walks I listen to this so that I feel comfortable and relaxed ❤

Cant believe I never read this as a kid

Beautifully read but it's such a shame that at least 2 chapters are missed out....Wayfarers All and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Also, some parts of complete chapters are missing. Why?

My favourite my partner used to play it for me when I struggle to sleep now I've just started listening to it on my own as he passed away 23dec 😢

Rat is the kind of friend everyone should have.

Usually asleep by "up we go, up we go" or "Hello Rat/Hello Mole" LOL

The nostalgia of listening to this in primary school ✨️

Wonderful narration

AMEN ! HALLELUJAH YAHWEH, I THANK YOU IN THE NAME OF YOUR SON YAHSHUA. MAY YAHWEH BLESS YOU ALL.

AMEN ! AMEN ! AMEN ! PRAISE YAHWEH YAHSHUA, HALLELUJAH!

Anyone here in 23 ???

What a delightful sleep story, so well read. I wonder if you would consider reading the Thornton Burgess bedtime story series. Some xamples are Paddy the Beaver, Sammy Jay, Chatterer the Red Squirrel, Little Joe Otter. I had a teacher in Grade 2 who read these to us every day after lunch, and I have such dear memories of these delightful stories . Each little forest creature is an example of human personality types and behaviours , the story ending with a discreet moral . I’d love to hear them again😅

It's Kenneth grahames voice Read it

RIP Richard love the way you read this. Have to be a child sometimes in the world as it is. Thank you.

Love you reading this Richard. Thanks. Hope you're somewhere better than earth.

So glad this popped up, just spent the weekend at Santa Pod, funnily enough we were talking about Beric last night with a few of his old mates, about the old days.

You probably don't check this anymore. I really enjoy you art. I don't do Tic Toc. But I do watch on my husband phone every now and then just to watch and listen to your post. Wish you would put them on KZbin
