Tales by Beatrix Potter

Summary: Claire Bloom's reading of Peter Rabbit
Review: I owned this recording on vinyl a child.(I still have it, even though I don't have a player.) It was one of my favorite things. Claire Bloom's reading makes these tales come alive. I purchased the tape for my children. I would recommend it for long car trips and nap time!

Summary: This is the Best Way to Hear Beatrix Potter Read!
Review: Our elementary school library owns a previous edition of Claire Bloom's recordings, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit and other Beatrix Potter Stories," which is out-of-print, and has obviously been replaced by this larger collection.

This past week, since I had a sore throat, I played Bloom's fine reading of "Peter Rabbit" for all the primary classes that came to library. The students sat spellbound as we listened and I showed them the classic (but small) illustrations that generations have come to love.

At first, I feared that Bloom's British accent might be a distraction for the kids, but they got so caught up in the story, they hardly noticed. Personally, I think listening to Beatrix Potter this way is the most fitting introduction to these wonderful tales and her delightful fantasy world.

I hope that this anthology will be available on CD soon, as that's what would prompt me to "upgrade" my collection.
