About this listen

Brought to you by Puffin.

This audio edition of Danny the Champion of the World is narrated by actor Alfred Enoch (Harry Potter, How To Get Away With Murder), and is bursting with fantabulous sound effects.


"A stodgy parent is no fun at all. What a child wants and deserves is a parent who is sparky"


Danny has the most marvellous and exciting father anyone ever had. He can repair any car or machine that people bring to him, loves going on adventures with Danny and tells him incredible stories around the stove in the cozy caravan they call home.

The land around them belongs to Mr Hazell, a rich bully who NOBODY likes, not one-little bit. So, Danny and his father concoct a daring plot that will give Mr Hazell the greatest shock of his life.

But can they pull off this level of mischief-making without getting caught...?

What a gem of a story told by the ever superb Alfred Enoch. If this were a cricket match, Alfie has delivered a reverse swinging Yorker of a performance.

The wonderful narrator really brought this classic tale to life.
