5 out of 5 stars A delight!   November 28, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Roald Dahl's voice is a delight. A refreshing change from the modern obsession for sound effects and other over-the-top techniques that, apparently, are added to capture a child's attention.

My two children listen to Dahl's audio CDs and read his books constantly. They enjoy many other styles of reading and story telling but I do believe Dahl has a special place in their hearts - and mine!



3 out of 5 stars Dull   February 27, 2005

Its the pure tone of RD's voice that sends my daughter asleep! I don't think he reads it like it ought to be read to be honest. It is after all aimed at children, and so should be adapted for such an audience. It doesn't make me any less of a RD fan, I adore his work!


1 out of 5 stars Stick to writing Roald!   July 2, 2004

Features the author doing a very bland reading job with no background music or whimsical sound effects. Only practical use I have found for it is to use it as an alternative method for making my 6 year old fall asleep.


5 out of 5 stars All 4 stories   August 24, 2003

This CD set is fantastic value. If you are reading this you are obviously an RD fan and what makes these CD's so special is that they are read by the author. Not only is Roald Dahl one of the best authors of all time but he has the great ability to tell the story exactly as it was meant to be read. My 2 children [aged 8&6] adore this at bedtime or on a long journey. All the stories appeal to both boys, girls and parents. We all know the tales, but they are a pleasure to listen to. You will not regret this GREAT buy!
