Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Friends: And Other Favorite Tales (Classic, Children's, Audio)

Beatrix Potter is one of the world's best-loved children's authors of all time. From her first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit (1902) she went on to create a series of stories based around animal characters including Mrs Tiggy-winkle, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Tom Kitten. Her humorous, lively tales and beautiful illustrations have become a natural part of childhood.A source of inspiration was the Lake District where she lived for the last thirty years of her life as a farmer and conservationist.

The voices of six British actors and actresses lend themselves beautifully to Beatrix Potter's classic tales. Their voices are varied and expressive without making them cartoon characters. Clear, slow enunciation and careful pacing make this a perfect introduction for even the youngest listeners. Original music by Carl Davis adds a sprightly air.The original illustrations on the jackets add recognition. Other stories available are THE ADVENTURES OF PETER RABBIT AND OTHER FAVOURITE TALES and THE ADVENTURES OF TOM KITTEN that includes standard favorites about Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny and Squirrel Nutkin, as well as some less-well-known characters and verses.
