The Cheshire Cheese Cat: A Dickens of a Tale

Carmen Agra Deedy and Randall Wright, read by Katherine Kellgren and Robin Sachs. Listening Library, unabridged, four CDs, 4 hrs., $30 ISBN 978-0-449-01026-6

A dirty alley cat wants nothing more than to find a comfortable spot to call home. When he finds Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, an inn in London, he thinks his search is over. But life there isn’t going to be as relaxing as he initially thought, thanks to colorful characters skillfully brought to life in this audio edition by narrators Katherine Kellgren and Robin Sachs. Kellgren’s pitch-perfect London dialect is a real delight; it whisks the listener away to another time and place. Enjoyable for both young and old, this audiobook is an undeniably compulsive listen. Ages 8–12. A Peachtree hardcover. (Jan.)
