I only wish I could listen to him read more of his stories, I love it so much that I'll definitely listen to it again and again- it calms me down and lets me escape to the childhood stories which kept me busy and gave my mind somewhere else to be during any situation where I had access to a book.
I'll be looking into finding if there are any other recordings of readings done by Roald Dahl, this one is definitely a very special Audible purchase that I would encourage any fan of fiction or classics to try.
