I read The Wind in the Willows to my sister, once a year. This has been abridged, but the narrator is terrific.

[@jeanettesdaughter]

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.

[@geneva760]

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.

[@patriciapines587]

This book reminds people to stick with and help their friends through good and also difficult times. Because... they're your FRIENDS!

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.

[@deemack688]

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

[@taranixononeill]

We used to have this on cassette tape when we were kids now i get to share it with my daughter without having to change the tape sides!!!!

[@deemack688]

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!

[@abrahemsamander3967]

I’m loving this narration. It’s very slow paced and calming

[@markussixtenstam105]

I agree

[@sidolanters1394]

it's not slow-paced at all, it's too fast. it sounds like it's sped up.

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.
