Favorite Audio of Peter Pan
« on: November 14, 2020, 01:34:14 PM »
Does anyone have a favorite Audible or BBC Radio or some audio version of Peter Pan? There's so many on Audible, I wasn't sure if anyone had a favorite. I'm getting ready to read the whole book to my students virtually, but want to hear some inspiration, so I don't mess up the book entirely with my muddy interpretation. It be nice to close my eyes, listen to someone read it (or an entire cast). So if anyone has one they particularly like, let me know.

As you say, there are many audio versions of Peter Pan. Be aware that many versions are abridged so first of all, I would look for an unabridged recording. Then check who the reader is as the reader's voice is so important.  I can recommend Samuel West and Jim Dale for instance.

The BBC version has an excellent cast but it is dramatised so would not have the full text. But it's good.

Hope this helps!
