WINNIE-THE-POOH AND THE HOUSE AT POOH CORNER

We could have a Winnie-the-Pooh convention with all the audiobook versions that have cropped up this season. All are quite classic renditions of the Pooh stories--particularly welcome after the recent trend that made every story into a cartoon. British comedian Alan Bennett sounds just a bit bored as if he's heard the stories too often--athough he's quite brilliant with the conversations among Pooh, Owl and Piglet. This British production has a proper air of authenticity. R.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV/DEC 97]
