About this listen

Beatrix Potter's amazing universe of animals dressed in human clothing has taught and entertained children for over a century. This volume brings together 21 of Potter's tales and verses in one audiobook. Hear Peter Rabbit outwit old Mr. McGregor, and Squirrel Nutkin come within a tail's length of being an owl's dinner. Listen as a family of mice save the kind tailor of Gloucester, and as Peter and Benjamin Bunny battle a barn cat. Learn how one fierce rabbit is set on the road to honesty. Although each story stands on its own, several are linked together by events and characters.

Critic reviews

"Be charmed as virtuoso narrator Katherine Kellgren shares 22 classic adventures of Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Benjamin Bunny, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and more.... Narrating these stories, Kellgren sounds eminently British and appropriately old-fashioned. ("The Tale of Peter Rabbit" was first published in 1902.) Don't mistake old-fashioned for slow, however; her narration is vigorous and fast paced, filled with character accents and songs and even the very authentic-sounding chitters of a squirrel and meows of an angry cat. Good fun." ( AudioFile)

A+ narration to magical tales ✨💞✨

It was beyond lovely to hear Katherine Kellgren narrate these charming stories. I've missed her work so much.

I laughed so often.

She will forever be my favorite narrator.

Overly dramatic reading

Great stories, but the overly dramatic reading takes away from the writing. Maybe small kids would like it.

Classic but Maybe Not for My Girls!:)

Would you listen to Timeless Tales of Beatrix Potter again? Why?

I bought this collection of timeless tales for my daughters' 5 & 6. I wanted something for bedtime however, the stories are a bit dark. Unfortunately, most of these frightened my girls.

Imaginings abound

Listening to these short stories carried me off to the World Of Beatrix Potter and her delightful tales of little animals. I do recall Ms. Potter almost always had a dangerously fearful climax for the little hero/heroine, until they barely escaped by the skin of their teeth. So for that, I'm not as much a fan, but such is life, and of that the authoress has composed it to be. And how grim it would've been if farmer MacGregor had eaten Peter, Flopsy, Mopsy & Cottontail in a rabbit pie?!

Love the story and the reader.

I had the story on cassette tape and book for my children and now I plan to use this with my grandson. I’ve always loved it.

Classic stories

Great storytelling, soothing narration and voice characterization. I listen with the kids nearly every night at bedtime. The stories are classic and endearing.

Amazing!😻😻😻😻😻😻😻 by Laura weirback

Apparently, me at age ten listen to this 12 times a week, and love it. It's a certainly good book and you can't miss it. Peter is my favorite bunny, and I named mine Peter rabbit after your idea because it was so amazing! I also recommend this book for five and up. Some day when m seventy two, I'll still listen to this story, I'm sure, and I'll still love the book as much as I do now. Thank you Beatrix potter! 🐶🐱🦄🐣🐯🦁🐹🐭🐰🐿🐇🐈🐩🐀❤️💛💚💙💜💗💖💝💕❣💟♥️😂😆😄😀😊😋😉😃🙂😶👌🏼I'm one of your fan(s)!

One of our favorites!

This is definitely a classic for good reason, but the amazing narration really makes it extra magical. I LOVE hearing all the voices, especially when the little animals sound so indignant about things. Such an incredible performance; I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Quick tip: for our littler ones, I play it at 75% speed since they’re not used to the accent. That doesn’t sound good for some books, but this book still sounds good at the slower speed.
