Acerca de esta escucha
This quintessentially English novel is considered by many to be a masterpiece of storytelling. Set for the most part on a riverbank in rural England, against a backdrop of social, agricultural, and industrial change typical of the early 20th century, Kenneth Grahame's portrayal of the anthropomorphic characters (which include Mole, Ratty, Badger, Otter, and, of course, the incorrigible Mr. Toad) is imaginative, lyrical, and without doubt uniquely humorous. Above all, in this work, the writer strikes a deep and resonant chord of human emotions. There are other audio versions of The Wind in the Willows; however, this rendering brings a fresh, clear, and enthusiastic narration inspired by a lifelong affection for the book.

Historia
Originally published in 1908 by British novelist Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows has become one of the most beloved and admired classics of children's literature. The novel follows the adventures of the mild-mannered Mole and his friend Rat, who emerge from their winter's slumber to explore the springtime world, encountering the sedate and businesslike Badger as well as the wild and impulsive Mr. Toad of Toad Hall, who cannot seem to avoid mishaps and run-ins with the police.

Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits. As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.

Historia
Jane Fortune causes a stir when she arrives in the small community of Dingleford. She has bought an old cottage and plans to open a tearoom. Old friends Charles Weatherby and Harold Prestcott both fall for the newcomer, but her behaviour seems to vary wildly – she encourages first one then the other and at other times barely recognises them. Is there more to the fair Miss Fortune than meets the eye?

After four grueling years, the Great War has finally ended. Now Ernst and the few men left from his company cannot help wondering what will become of them. The town they departed as eager young men seems colder, their homes smaller, the reasons their comrades had to die even more inexplicable. For Ernst and his friends, the road back to peace is more treacherous than they ever imagined. Suffering food shortages, political unrest, and a broken heart, Ernst undergoes a crisis that teaches him what there is to live for - and what he has that no one can ever take away.

This is the Narration You Want!
Fantastic book, which is much beloved from my own childhood. I've been sharing this version with my kids at bedtime each evening, and they've been very happy to dive into the adventures of Mr. Toad and his friends. This is an unabridged version, which I greatly prefer, but what really shines in this version is the narration by Chris MacDonnell. He has been added to my list of favorite narrators! He has a fantastic British accent, and the pacing of Neil Gaiman. That makes the story really enjoyable to listen to, even over long stretches. This will definitely be one we listen to over and over again!
I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. I received this title for free in exchange for an unbiased review. That being said, it really is fantastic, and I would have gladly purchased it!

Fun fun fun
What did you love best about The Wind in the Willows?
I received this free in exchange for an unbiased review. I found the story to be much fun and brought back a lot of memories of reading it when I was younger and later to my children. I got a lot more detail listening to the story.

Great Listen and a Great Story
This is a wonderful classic tale and the narrator does a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life. There are a few options for narrators to choose from, but I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Chris MacDonnell. His accent and character deliveries are on point, and feel perfectly in place within the narrative.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Excellent Performance of a Brilliant Classic
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Chris MacDonnell is a talented narrator with a great voice. He's easy to listen to and does a great job of bringing each character to life. I especially loved his meek little mole and pretentious, bossy Toad.
This is one of my all-time favourite stories and one I have read to myself multiple times over the years. I am delighted with this audio version. Chris's performance kept me engaged to a point where I just wanted to listen. I didn't want to be multitasking and doing other things whilst wearing my headphones. I kept sitting down to enjoy it. A good storyteller will do that for you!

Mr. Toad and Friends
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the adventures Mr. Toad, Ratty, Mole, and the wise Badger had throughout this delightful tale. I especially enjoyed the sports car fiascos and the Washer Women roles. It was a very entertaining read.
Chris MacDonnell is perfect as a narrator. He really had me captivated through every adventure. Each character was unique.

Any additional comments?
“I was provided this free review copy audiobook by the author or narrator." This review is for the audio copy of The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and narrated by Chris MacDonnell.
I had always known about the Disney version of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride but had never read The Wind in the Willows. This was an entertaining tale and was read superbly by Chris MacDonnell. His inflections, accents and pacing helped tell the story in a manner that made it easy to listen to and hard to put down.

Beautifully written wonderfully imaginative
A true joy to listen to and a classic masterpiece of literature. I read this back as an early teen and found it even more rewarding revisiting it years later here, as an audiobook. Five stars, a must read.
