Critic Reviews

The story is endlessly fun - full of mischief, adventure and magical twists that spark their imagination... It's amazing that the first book in the series was written in 1939, yet the story still feels fresh and full of magic for today's kids

Me and my son always listen to this in the car or before bedtime. It is an old favourite of mine and I’m so happy I got to share the joy of this book with my little kindie. The narration was beautiful and really makes you imagine the images that would be in a movie. Thank you for this wonderful book.

Wonderful

My Grandson and I so enjoyed this narration. We listened on the way to and from kinder ... we listened while he was eating lunch at Nanas and we listened at bedtime ... all at his request . He could not get enough of "The Enchanted Wood." Thank you so much for making a book I loved as a child available to a new generation. I loved too that this is not a video and so required careful focus and imagination - which he was more than happy to do. He is 5 but I think that I in my 70s' enjoyed the magic of Enid Blyton just as much. Sadly there were no more audiobooks for the next in the series... Please do some more

Pace and narration perfect - fires the imagination
