Fabulously Nostalgic...!
A childhood classic, fabulously nostalgic. Priceless narration by Richard Briers brings all the little friends to life with their individual voices and accents.

A Classic to Remember
Richard Briers is a wonderous storyteller.
It was funny how he voiced Toad, especially his outburst on the bargewoman for mocking him. And it was funny how Richard described how his recklessness got him in trouble with policemen and the chauffeur.
Also grand the way he voiced Badger especially when he scolded Toad for endangering many.
Richard be my face as Ratty.

Fantastic bedtime listening
This has been perfect for my little daughter to listen to while she prepares for sleep. I loved it as a child and it's so lovely to see my children enjoying it thirty years later. A beautifully narrated, fantastic story.

A disappointing abridgment
This is clearly marked “Unabridged”. This is simply not true. When I knew the book as a child the two passages I found intensely moving were the Field Mice’ Carol (“Who was the first to sing Nowell?/ Animals all as it befell./ Joy shall be theirs in the morning”) and the profound mysticism of the chapter “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. Both these passages are omitted, as is the entire Chapter “Wayfarers All”. (Other omission include all the songs, including the delightful “Duck’s Ditty”, the chapter titles and certain details I can remember in both the Christmas chapter and the final chapter at least.)
In the structure of the book, the two omitted chapters break up the account of Toad in jail and his escape. By making Toad’s adventures a continuous narrative without the deeper, more feeling aspects of the omitted chapters, this version reduces the book to a comic cartoon adventure without the profundity and little of the tenderness that makes it such a masterpiece. Richard Briers reads the version charmingly, but I was thoroughly disappointed.
A listener who doesn’t know the original may well still be pleased by this version.
