Children's ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
The Collected Stories of Winnie-the-Pooh
A.A. Milne · 2013
🎙 Narrated by Stephen Fry, Judi Dench, Geoffrey Palmer, Jane Horrocks, Michael Williams, and others (ensemble cast)
Milne's gentle, wry stories about the Hundred Acre Wood remain one of children's literature's most enduring pleasures — episodic and unhurried, they reward listening at any age. Some later chapters are noticeably weaker than others, and the lack of any narrative arc may leave restless listeners wanting more momentum. The ensemble British cast is the finest way to hear this material, with Fry's bewildered Pooh and Palmer's mournful Eeyore perfectly matched to each character.

🎙 Narration: excellent Ensemble British cast — Fry as Pooh, Palmer as Eeyore, Dench and others — is exceptionally well matched to the material and widely considered the definitive audio production of these stories.
