The House at Pooh Corner and Now We Are Six

Rating:
Summary: A touching audio-experience.
Review: Peter Dennis has the great gift of a fantastic voice, a superb understanding of the text and a real sense for Alexander Milne's fine humor. He definitely brings back childhood memories of the older kids and surely contributes to new ones.

I had received the original version of "The House At Pooh Corner" as a birthday present from an English family across the road. "We" were four at that time and - being German speaking - not really capable of understanding a single word. Every evening I would press my mother to translate, because I loved this book so much.

Now "we" are fourty something and pretty capable of reading and writing English texts. Nonetheless, I once in a while endulge myself by playing Peter Dennis' tapes of "The House at Pooh Corner" and "Now We Are Six". They are my favorites. Peter Dennis' recordings of these books are a most delightful audio-experiences for kids of all ages.

Summary: Unquestionably the finest recording of Winnie the Pooh!
Review: We love listening to this sensitive and lyrical recording of Winnie the Pooh stories. This is the way I always heard it in my head when I was a child (40 years ago) and my 10 year old son has insisted on falling asleep to the voice of Peter Dennis and his deft characterizations of Pooh & Company virtually every night for more than four years. If you love these recordings, you'll also want to listen to Christopher Timothy reading James Herriot's All Creatures Great & Small.
