5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent audio CD set
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2014

I loved Roald Dahl books when I was a kid and wanted to start introducing my own kids to them. We spend a lot of time in the car, so this was a great way to do it. I jumped at the chance to buy this set because, not only does it include 5 stories which is a great bargain, but it was read by the author himself! Since I had never heard his voice before, I thought this would be really interesting and make the set more special in a way. I was not disappointed! I love hearing these stories in Dahl's own voice. My children do too. They are 7, 5, and 3 years old. We have listened to the CDs over and over again. I think Dahl does an excellent job with his readings. I don't find it confusing which story is on which CD although they are not labeled. 1--Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2--James and the Giant Peach, 3--Fantastic Mr. Fox, 4--The Enormous Crocodile and The Magic Finger. I believe there is about 5 hours of recording between all the CDs. I only wish the entire stories of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach were included instead of the abridged versions. I just can't get enough! Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Mr Fox (one disc) and on the last disc

We are big fans of Roald Dahl here.
For anyone who doesn't know, Roald Dahl wrote in a time when children's stories were much darker and usually had a moral to them. Just be aware of that if you are not familiar with Dahl's work. Personally, it doesn't bother myself or my kids.
This set contains Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (on one disc), James and the Giant Peach (one disc), Fantastic Mr Fox (one disc) and on the last disc, The Enormous Crocodile and The Magic Finger.
The stories are read by Roald himself, which I thought was an added bonus. His voice is clear and easy to understand.
This is definitely worth the purchase and I will probably buy it again when ours wears out because it is listened to so often.

Since my eleven-year-old grandson was less than a year old, I have steadily acquired songs and stories from nursey rhymes, the Smithsonian' s Alphabet of ..., John Lithgow's Marsupial Sue et al., Grimm's Fairy Tales, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe... to delight him and the brother and sister who have since arrived in the family. Now comes Roald Dahl reading the Fantastic Mr. Fox, James and the Giant Peach... and all three of my wee beasties strap themselves into the car seats, and we four listen intently to great stories. Beats any isolating video game or movie.

I LOVE this story teller. The grandkids enjoy each of the stories told, but as an adult who loves children's books, I fully appreciate the talent of Roald Dahl. His ability to infuse personality into the various characters and "retort" (as only Roald Dahl can retort) add both life and humor to his stories. As the imagination comes alive and the listener is swept away with the story, one forgets for just a moment that one is only seeing with the mind and not the eyes. Gifted is the word for Mr. Dahl.

Kids love listening to these stories. The only problem is the disks aren't numbered or marked in anyway so mark them as you listen to keep them straight.

I bought these because my brother and I listened to them at night as we fell asleep when we were kids and I wanted our daughters (6 & 8) to experience using their imaginations as they sized off. To my delight the James and the Giant Peach is the same exact one we listened to as kids same narrator and everything I felt like I was 5 years old again (I'm 38). These are a great alternative to watching TV turn them on while your kid plays and watch as they stop playing and listen to the stories as they imagine each character in their mind!

As a teacher I LOVE to have my learners hear a story and follow along. I was so excited to find this series but unfortunately I am not able to find a text that mirrors the reading.

It made a 5 hour car journey pass by in the blink of an eye. My kids can't watch DVD's, read books or play on iPods during these journeys as it makes them sick, so this was a Godsend. Read by Roald Dahl himself, it kept a 43 year-old, a 40 year-old, a 7 year-old and a 6 year-old happy and smiling for hours. We don't make this journey that often, so it will all be fresh again next time!

I was concerned that the collection of Real Dahl stories would be too juvenile for my granddaughter who was turning 7 but she was happy because she recognized some of the titles and was looking forward to listening to all of them in the car as she travels with her family.
