Timeless Tales of Beatrix Potter: Peter Rabbit and Friends

by Beatrix Potter Narrated by Katherine Kellgren

Overview

Beatrix Potter's amazing universe of animals dressed in human clothing has taught and entertained children for over a century. This volume brings together twenty-one of Potter's tales and verses in one book. Hear Peter Rabbit outwit old Mr. McGregor, and Squirrel Nutkin come within a tail's length of being an owl's dinner. Listen as a family of mice save the kind tailor of Gloucester, and as Peter and Benjamin Bunny battle a barn cat. Learn how one fierce rabbit is set on the road to honesty. Although each story stands on its own, several are linked together by events and characters.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Narrating these stories, Kellgren sounds eminently British and appropriately old-fashioned. . . . 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." ---AudioFile

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
