Timeless Tales of Beatrix Potter

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. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
