I enjoyed Meryl Streep's narration

The backround music is humorous, it is from the 80's. I have listened to it twice so far.

Odd music good story

Long periods of elevator music, sometimes between sentences. Makes following the story difficult for kids. Classic story, great narration, but experience is not helped by the accompaniment of music, which nearly tripled the length of the audiobook unnecessarily.
