A delightful return to a childhood favourite

Very enjoyable. Narrator has a lovely soothing voice, perfect for bedtime at 0.9 speed. Mispronunciation of a small handful of recurring words eg ‘wondering’ as ‘wandering’.

Beautiful story well read

A heart-warming story that immediately sent me back to when I first heard it as a child. The narrator was excellent with a calming voice that suited the tone of the book perfectly.

Absolute joy!

This book is an absolute treasure! Uplifting, joyful and hope-filled. Beautifully written and beautifully read. We all loved it (one adult and a 12 year old girl, 10 year old boy)
