Any film would probably spoil the world already created in the readers imagination. If this book were a film would you go see it? For a child listening to these stories for the first time these voices it might seem okay. His use of Welsh, Scottish, and even Cornish accents seemed completely wrong as I've always imagined the characters to have neutral voices to match the uncomplicated world they live in. When Moomintroll learns that a comet will be passing by, he and his friend Sniff travel to the Observatory on the Lonely Mountains to consult the Professors.
A reprint of a 1946 novel for children, illustrated in black and white. At least not a Moomin book! His pace and style of reading are fine but his choice of UK regional accents for the main characters was, in my view, bizarre. Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson / ISBN 9780312608880 / 173-page paperback. Would you be willing to try another one of Hugh Dennis’s performances? I'd recommend the book but not this reading by Hugh Dennis. Would you recommend Comet in Moominland to your friends? Why or why not?
If you read the Moomin book with a child's eye then you'll enjoy them. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
