Fantastic Mr Fox
Read by John Baddeley
Roald Dahl is always a winner, of course. It's hard to believe that this story of the super-meanies, Boggis, Bunce and Bean, is now twenty years old. Mr Fox and his family escape all the farmers' sly efforts to trap them and the story ends with that wonderful celebratory feast and Mrs Fox's toast: 'My husband is a Fantastic Fox!' The cheers and the clapping are heard on the sound effects and the story ends with the relentless rain soaking Boggis, Bunce and Bean as they wait in vain for Mr Fox. John Baddeley characterises the voices well on this good value cassette.
