I admit it. As soon as I finished listening the first time, I went back to listen again. It's just that fun.
This updated version of a fairy tale that originated in the 1500s holds its own. All of the characters are well-rounded, the actors are all fully engaged, and the music is the kind that sticks with you well after the book itself is complete. Catchy catchy tunes! The pacing of the story is excellent and I expect will hold children's attention well.
Jim Dale's storytelling is brilliant, and it was clear the cast was having just as much fun telling the story as I had listening.
I've not been able to find anything that tells me which actor played which role - but trust me: they are all brilliant.

Now I'm thinking a third listen might be needed.
