Simply Wonderful
We loved every second of this audiobook. Mr. Moffatt did a wonderfully delightful job of bringing these characters to life!
We follow along with our book so we can look at the beautiful illustrations.
our only complaint is that we wish for the complete brambly hedge!! why were The Secret Staircase, The High Hills, Sea Story and Poppy's Babies left out? A terrible oversight that needs correcting.

Music, sound effects, mumbling
This audio book has too much music that dominates the narrator. Also it is very jaunty and distracting. This is not a relaxing way to listen to a story. The sound effects were lame. What was the story? Unsure could not hear it. Just want to warn others so they do not think this is a relaxing bedtime story.
