Winnie-the-Pooh
A.A. Milne · 2009

93/100
👍 Worth It
This is the Hundred Acre Wood done right — a full-cast dramatization with Stephen Fry, Judi Dench and company that AudioFile called 'a rich experience,' wrapped around Milne's timeless warmth and gentle humor. Just know going in it's a musical full-cast production rather than one cozy voice reading straight through, but it's an absolute delight either way.
