A GREAT LISTEN!
I grew up listening weekly to umpteen BBC radio productions ... Listen with Mother, the Afternoon Play, the Book at Bedtime ...
Moving to the US more than 16 years ago, I missed this daily influence and joy.
But now thanks to the Internet, anyone worldwide can not only listen daily, but the digital radio station BBC7 makes archives of previously broadcast classics available as well.
My children have recently been enjoying episodes of P.G. Wodehouse's dramatized Jeeves and Wooster stories while we eat lunch or do art projects in the afternoon. And this week we were delighted to find a childhood favorite.
Would your children enjoy listening to THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS read by one of England's greatest actors ... in your own home?!
