Wonderful presentation of this classic.

Dench and Fry read this in a style that keeps the whimsy of the book without crossing over into the twee. The voices are superbly cast - I particularly liked Kanga and Piglet. The slight Aussie accent for Kanga worked and Jane Horrocks' Piglet is how I hear it in my head when I read the book. Eeyore also is good. I particularly liked that this is the full unabridged and unedited text of the original book.

Wonderful stories!

I and the grandchildren all love these stories. Gave 4 for performance because Tigger's voice is so unnerving, and grates on the nerves! I always skip the chapter (3?) in which Tigger is inttoduced. Otherwise, very entertaining for children and adults alike!

What a Cast!

It was lovely! Stephen Fry, Judi Dench and cast were wonderful. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Great Story But Sound Quality Issues

Great story and voices are good. But the story volume in horrible. It’s loud then barely audible then perfect then loud again. It’s all over the place.

Charming and beautifully realized.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely, I don't even think that you need the excuse of having small children. A.A. Milne is whimsical enough on his own, but the cast brings these voices to life in ways I had never even been able to imagine, not a false note among them.

What other book might you compare Winnie the Pooh: The House at Pooh Corner (Dramatised) to and why?

The first in the series, 'Winnie the Pooh', though it's a bit obvious to mention it.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

They are varied enough that they are immediately distinguishable and so full of personality you expect them to walk out of your head, complete and large as life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but each chapter is great on its own, as well.
