Jim Dale is an excellent reader that really captures the characters and feeling of the stories. I enjoy audiobooks generally because I can listen to them on the road, or while confined to a sick bed, or waiting for a plane and so on. Easy to carry many of them on an MP3 player rather than carrying several books. Jim Dale is a hoot to listen to. I've heard other readers that were quite lackluster, but this one is a keeper. For those who have heard his reading of the Harry Potter series, some of the voices will sound very familiar. He captures the sarcasm and word-play that Lewis Carroll weaved into the stories. I am listening to this in preparation for the new film version of Alice that is being released.
Excellent purchase. I have always loved this book and Jim Dale is a wonderful narrorator.
Jim continues to be one ofmy favorites readers. I'm a huge fan of Lewis Carroll; and, now of Jim Dale as well.actually, I was drawn to this product after having heard his readingsof the 6th and 7th Harry Potter books.
Dale brings to life this timeless story, giving the iconic book all the justice it deserves. There is something straightforward and comforting about the simple surrealism of Alice.
Forget the Disney knock offs - Caroll's original words are as entertaining as they were when first written, and his magical realism still delights beyond the wildest dreams of the most talented modern day writers. Listeners of any age will revel in Lewis Caroll's book that defined the genre of children's science fiction.
Audiobook fans might recognize Jim Dale as the narrator of Harry Potter series. I can't imagine a better performance.
He has won two Grammy Awards and seven Audie Awards, and lives up to his reputation in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
Non only is his English accent comforting and accessible to American ears, he speaks with an ageless authority that instills both comfort and wonder.
I laughed my head off a couple of times. Jim Dale is fantastic. His approach to the story put me in tuned with the characters that it made the storyline even more enjoyable. Alice and Wonderland was one of my favorite stories when I was a kid. Although Disney had done the productions for the story album, the original is just wonderful.
