I first heard it at school but now I’m going to listen to it again and again.

I love it 😍

A classic story, in my view this is the best reading of it on audible, lovely interpretation of the Yorkshire dialect without over-egging it, just a wonderful voice to listen to, the descriptions of nature are sublime, the different characters are well defined in the narration. Bravo!

Love this narrator

The story is of course beautiful! Our family children aged, 4,6&8 thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.

We enjoyed the narrator, her Yorkshire accent was a lovely bonus. We would have given it five stars if it wasn't for the music accompanying each chapter. We found the music both annoying and unnecessary.

I loved the narration of this book - even the Yorkshire accents (and I come from Yorkshire!) A delightful escapist experience but with a moving core of truth about the natural world and the need for love and attention . A long time since I read this as a child, but if anything it is more charming as an adult.

This version is perfect
