What the critics say

“Roald Dahl sometimes shared a tonal kinship with Ogden Nash, and he could demonstrate a verbal inventiveness nearly Seussian...[His] stories work better in audio than in print.”(The New York Times)

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.)

Lovely narration

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.

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.

Subtle Narration & Excellent Storytelling

As fantastic as I remember
