The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame - Read by Kenneth Williams - 1979 Audiobook - LFP 7041

After really liking the old 1977 "Oliver!" tapes and their awesome packaging, I thought I would get another set from the same series. This time it's Kenneth WIlliams doing a fantastic reading of The Wind in the Willows, recorded in 1979.

I can literally recite 10-15 minutes at a time from this recording! My brother and I can go back and forth through the dialogue! This was such a huge part of my childhood. I used to joke with my mom that almost no situation in life couldn’t be improved or elucidated with a quote from Wind in the willows - with Kenneth Williams’s inflection!

I can't believe I found this, it makes me so happy! I've been living in NZ for the past 30 years but listening to this is a treasured memory of growing up in the UK, spring cleaning my room on a Sunday afternoon along with the Mole 😄 Thank you so much!

I used to listen to this audiobook on tape cassette in bed at night when I was little (it had same cover as shown here too). Kenneth Williams is magic 👌🏻 I also had audio cassettes produced by the BBC of Kenneth narrating Will o’the Wisp

wow... used to have this cassette and it just took me straight back to the past... an amazing audio book and Kenneth Williams was the perfect narrator

Thanks so much for this. It was the soundtrack to my early childhood. Parent bought it for me one Christmas and I listened to it every night for years.

I love listening to Kenneth William's voice and to have him reading "Wind in the Willows" is double the pleasure; I wish that during his lifetime he had been aware of how much he was appreciated, how much laughter he brought, which is priceless. To anyone reading this, if you enjoy watching/listening to Kenneth Williams he did the voiceover to the original "Willo the Wisp" (a childrens programme) which he brings to a whole different level. Richard Briers also voiced an audiobook of "Wind in the Willows" who's voice I also love.🌹

Tear in my eye. Good memories

[@nicolaeast8957]

Thanks so much for posting this. The best ever recording of this story. I still have the tape but I'm too afraid to play it. Now my children can hear this version too.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

Delightful! Thanks for uploading.

[@MACATTACK99]

Brings me back laying in my bedroom as a child. Had this on tapes, comforting memories.

[@MsBluemoth]

Thank you so much! This is my childhood favourite read by Kenneth Williams. He is absolutely brilliant ✨💖

[@hopeearly858]

The ONLY narration! We had this exact cassette when I was younger and Kenneth Williams remains my favourite & only possible narrator for this wonderful story. I'm fairly sure my brother & I can still recite parts of this verbatim! A real joy to hear again.

The man was a genius. My favourite children's book read by my favourite actor and comedian. Wonderful stuff.
