TIMELESS TALES OF BEATRIX POTTER Peter Rabbit and Friends

Be charmed as virtuoso narrator Katherine Kellgren shares 22 classic adventures of Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, Benjamin Bunny, Mr. Jeremy Fisher, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and more. In Beatrix Potter’s world, rabbits raid the farmer’s garden and do their best to avoid getting caught, and a hedgehog just might take care of the neighborhood animals' laundry. Narrating these stories, Kellgren sounds eminently British and appropriately old-fashioned. (“The Tale of Peter Rabbit” was first published in 1902.) Don’t mistake old-fashioned for slow, however; her narration is vigorous and fast paced, filled with character accents and songs and even the very authentic-sounding chitters of a squirrel and meows of an angry cat. Good fun. J.M.D. 2015 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2014]
