This is the Best Way to Hear Beatrix Potter Read!,
By
This review is from: Tales by Beatrix Potter (Audio Cassette)
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recordings, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit and other Beatrix Potter Stories," which is out-of-print, and has obviously been replaced by this larger collection.This past week, since I had a sore throat, I played Bloom's fine reading of "Peter Rabbit" for all the primary classes that came to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.

Claire Bloom's reading of Peter Rabbit,

This review is from: Tales by Beatrix Potter (Audio Cassette)
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!

My children have been falling asleep to these audiocassettes for some months now; we use them for quiet times, too. We already loved Beatrix Potter, but Claire Bloom's clear, beautiful voice makes them come alive. My kids have NO problem understanding her accent. But the tapes are starting to wear down, and I tried, in vain, to find the CD version as a replacement; instead I got the Nadia May reading, which can't compare. So - we will just keep replacing the audiocassettes.
