Story
The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, or any of the other giants - rather than the BFG - she would have soon become breakfast. When Sophie hears that the giants are flush-bunking off to England to swollomp a few nice little chiddlers, she decides she must stop them once and for all. And the BFG is going to help her!

Lovely narration
Roald Dahl is such a talented storyteller. It is a treat to have him read those stories himself. (Unlike other writers who are not necessarily great readers, Roald Dahl is a talented performer as well as a talented writer.) Of course, those are abbreviated versions of the stories, but the point is to spend a few hours listening to Roald Dahl himself bring his famous characters to life. (For complete versions of the stories, buy the individual books.)

Abriged versions
It's cool to hear the author himself (especially for the songs), but i believe that these may be abridged versions. For example in James there are no cloud monsters. Still fun.

the narrators deep voice drones on and the accent is hard to listen to! Loved these stories when I read them myself and enjoyed the movie adaptations but can't handle listening to the narrators voice!

Subtle Narration & Excellent Storytelling
My tweens LOVE this series (& I do too) Highly recommend it.
As to other reviewer’s complaints for ‘boring’ narration (by Roald Dahl, author of the books himself) - this is subtle & clever storytelling with many puns & brilliant insights into contemporary society (consider the Mike Teevee poem regarding our limited attention spans;)
The stories are unabridged & told with adequate expression. Very entertaining for older readers. Best recommended for kids used to listening to ‘more complex’ audiobooks.
