Summary

This is a collection meant to be cherished for a lifetime. Listeners set out with timid Mole as he explores the world, learning about courage and friendship through a series of misadventures with Rat, Toad, and Badger in The Wind in the Willows. From the River Bank, tumble down the rabbit hole with Alice to a madcap world where nonsense rules in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. From Victorian England, it's on to a small New England town in Little Women, where Jo March and her three sisters struggle to achieve their dreams amid the shifting roles of women in the Civil War era. Sent to live with her uncle, orphan Mary Lennox uncovers the mysteries of Misselthwaite Manor in The Secret Garden. Listeners then journey through the English countryside and London with a gentle, hardworking horse who experiences kindness and cruelty at the hands of different masters in Black Beauty.

Whether encountering these cherished tales for the first or the 50th time, listeners will find enchantment in this collection.

Excellent value for money. I particularly enjoyed Simon Vance's two readings of "Black Beauty" and "Wind in the Willows". His voice evokes so much beauty and wonder (as indeed do the stories).

Enchanted I was!

Despite the difficulty in navigating, my daughter (at age 10) and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the books, so well read and expressed. I can't recommend the collection enough to those who want to enjoy the stories while busy (or not) doing things with their hands.

very charming collection of the classic stories

Black beauty- I read this when I was younger and forgot what a good story it is. The story is told from the viewpoint if Black Beauty. He talks you through his life from his nice upbringing. Beauty is gentle and well mannered horse but he does find himself in dark times with some of his owners. The story has some sad parts as you find out what happens to some of his friends like Ginger. It makes you think of how animals are treated for the sake of fashion and because of their appearance. It is a really insightful book and found that listening to it as an audiobook helped with the kind of autobiography feel of Beautys story. Definitely a book I would recommend and listen/read again.

Ist rate.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Enchanted Collection?

Great performance, particularly enjoyed Simon Vance's Black Beauty, and Michael Page's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The voice of the narrators has been bringing a smile to my face, from time to time...

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Black Beauty's great gentleness, despite his terrible circumstances...

Any additional comments?

The book, as a whole, is like a chicken soup, good and soothing to my mind and soul at times; refreshing and relaxing too. I was beaming, without realising...

Indeed a treasure

Amazing value. Purchased for Alice in Wonderland but enjoyed most other stories too, particularly Little Women which I had not read before. Black Beauty wasn't to my taste, both in story and narrator. Enjoyed rediscovering Alice in Wonderland, a favourite from my childhood.

Great value!
