About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

Presenting a mischievous new reading of Roald Dahl's George's Marvellous Medicine, read by BAFTA-winning comedian Romesh Ranganathan. This immersive audiobook is bursting with phizzwhizzing sound effects, dynamic sound design, and original music composed by Rusty Bradshaw.

George Kranky's grandma is a grouch. She's always mean to George (and not much nicer to his parents either). She just LOVES being mean and miserable!

Once when George is put in charge of giving Grandma her medicine, he wonders if he could come up with his own remedy to try and help her become less of a grump.

So, using some rather unusual ingredients, George creates his magic medicine*. But will it stop his grandma from being so horrible . . . or will it blow the top of her head off?!

*WARNING: Do NOT try to make George's Marvellous Medicine yourselves at home. It's likely to be dangerous.

What I thought was amazing about this book is how it so original. Also how it is read with so much expression it make the story even better. Another thing that is fabulous about this tale that it is a nice length for a short car ride or just a walk with your dog.

The creativity of this book is amazing.

Can’t Rik’s Jackanory from my childhood be remastered and used? His storytelling was a great match for Dahl’s style.

Not as good as Rik Mayall but my daughter loves it nonetheless
