Weekly Picks: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

Posted on September 15, 2006 by | Posted in Uncategorized, Weekly Picks | Comments: 3 Comments on Weekly Picks: The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame

Read by Mark F. Smith

In The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame presents a cast of colorful animal characters having adventures along the banks of the River. Mark Smith reads about the lives of these characters in the style of a bedside storyteller, giving each animal its own voice that clearly reflects the animal’s personality. Simple-minded Mole speaks with a slow drone, while his easy-living friend Ratty has a high, wheezy tone. In one charming scene, Badger, a grumpy hermit, gruffly lectures the wayward Mr. Toad, who responds in the petulant accent of an aristocrat. Smith’s performance of these voices, and his equally engaging narration, makes listening to The Wind in the Willows fun for both children and adults.

Weekly Picks: The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain

Posted on September 7, 2006 by | Posted in Uncategorized, Weekly Picks | Comments: Comments Off on Weekly Picks: The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain

Read by John Greenman.

Mark Twain’s humor, sometimes blunt and sometimes subtle, presents a particular problem for an audio book. The narrator must simultaneously play both the straight man and the joker while balancing Twain’s characters between realistic and quirky. In The Prince and the Pauper, Twain switches the place of Prince Edward of England with his look-alike double, a poor boy named Tom. In telling the story, Twain adapts his Midwestern humorist style to antiquated English. This combination of styles presents a further challenge to vocal interpretation, but reader John Greenman brings the listener into the London of 1547 with a wry tone and deft characterizations.
