Abridged
As a child, I loved listening to my cassettes of Kenneth Williams reading The Wind In The Willows. The tapes were published in the 1970s by EMI’s Listen For Pleasure imprint, but have been unavailable now (except on the likes of eBay) for about thirty years, and never released on CD or as an MP3. My tapes were on their last legs, so I learned how to convert them to MP3 and I thought I’d get the files online. I’ve had them on a Tumblr page for ages, but now I’ve learned how to make a torrent I thought I’d get them on here too.
This is an abridged version of the book, running about two hours (so it would fit on two tapes). There are four MP3 files, one for each cassette side. Side One has some wobbly bits towards the end where Ken sounds like he’s underwater. Sorry about that. Old tapes. But it doesn’t last long and the rest is fine, I think.
For anyone outside the UK who might not know Kenneth Williams, he was a much beloved English comedy actor. He did a lot of radio in the 1950s, and in the ’60s and ’70s was best known for the Carry On comedy film series - although he would rather not have been, by all accounts! Children also liked him because he was brilliant at voices, so he did a lot of kids’ TV as he got older. But not as many audiobooks as you might have thought.

Sounds like this was a labour of love, Kruppe. I’ll probably not be listening to this any day soon, but I really appreciate you taking the trouble to create and share these files.

I had a copy of this on tape. I remember there being 4 tapes. There must have been an unabridged version too. Im not sure. the cardboard cover box was green.. I think.
I may be remembering wrong.

@Steadfasto8 I’m afraid you’re remembering wrong. There was never an unabridged version of this, and it was only ever on two cassettes. You must be thinking of a different reading. The cover was a painting of a toad by a river (https://bit.ly/2OzOwRD)

I had the cassette tapes of kenneth Williams reading back when I was a child. I listened to those tapes every night until I accedently vacuumed one of the cassette tapes and ruined it while trying to clean them. I hunted for years for a new copy. I would speak along with the story word for word in my best kenneth Williams story voice. This reading is near and dear to my heart. Thank you for uploading
