Story
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.

Story
A little magic can take you a long way. After James Henry Trotter's parents are tragically eaten by a rhinoceros, he goes to live with his two horrible aunts, Spiker and Sponge. Life there is no fun, until James accidentally drops some magic crystals by the old peach tree and strange things start to happen. The peach at the top of the tree begins to grow, and before long it's as big as a house. Inside, James meets a bunch of oversized friends - Grasshopper, Centipede, Ladybug, and more. With a snip of the stem, the peach starts rolling away, and the great adventure begins!

A classic read with charm
Would you consider the audio edition of The Wind in the Willows to be better than the print version?
No. Nothing can replace the cognitive experience of reading printed words. However many of us do have learning disabilities and audio books are a lovely solution. In addition , a book of this quality would be ideally suited for younger readers to listen to as they develop their reading skills. I listened to it while recovering from heart surgery when fatigue made managing a book far too difficult. The lovely gentle adventures and friendships , the beautiful descriptive language - it was all very calming and restorative.

Lively and Sweet
I first read The Wind in the Willows with my children nearly 30 years ago. I loved it and so did they. I still have the book, all tattered and dog-eared. Now, collecting ideas for stories my grandchild may love, I got this audiobook. Love again.
The narration by Michael Hordern is as lively and sweet as the story itself. The pace of the narration is perfect for a bedtime story, which it has been for me for the past week. Never hurried, Sir Michael speaks every word fully: playful where the story is playful, lightly solemn when the story turns to contemplate the mysteries, poetic in the descriptions of the natural world.

An older, warmer world.
An eminently comforting story from an eminently comforting time. The friendship, loyalty, and manners of the animals stand out not so much because they are animals, but because they hail from a more genteel time. In terms of the themes, conveyed allegorically, the characters and their deeds and speech, as well as the language of narration, this is a vastly more edifying story for children than most, and a more comforting escape for adult listeners, rendered all the more so, by the pitch-perfect narrator. Recommended for all.
