Simon Vance on Audiobook Classics

Simon Vance narrates many of our favorite children’s classics, including Kenneth Grahame’s THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, which he also fondly remembers performing as a kid. Listen as he shares his delight in narrating these well-loved classics.

“They may be the classics that children start reading with, but I think they can stand alongside the best.”—Narrator Simon Vance

The Wind In The WillowsTHE WIND IN THE WILLOWS

AudioFile Earphones Award

We may know the story of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Mr. Toad, but treat yourself to listening to the full original. Simon’s perfect accent puts you right on the riverbank at the edge of the Wild Wood: “Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing — absolutely nothing — half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.” Listen to a sound clip of Simon’s narration of Kenneth Grahame’s classic, and read AudioFile’s full review.
