Author: Guest I was so thrilled to find this collection. As a little girl, I had the books along with the records. The records were great...especially when Frances would sing...and the background music and sound effects were magical. When I played this tape, I was disappointed. There is no music or sound effects...just a woman with an English accent that reads the story to you...and she reads very quickly. The songs are sung differently than they were on the records but the more and more I listen to this tape, the more I am just happy to have something that reminds me of my childhood. I am still searching for the original recordings though!
Author: Guest My kids are grown now and I am ordering it for them as more of a nostalgia thing. We origianlly listened to it on a record we got from the library, and the many phrases in the tapes narrated by Glynnis John have become a part of the vocabulary of our family. The tapes are actually better than the books because Frances becomes more of a kid and less of a badger, but the books are great. We loved them and am glad a recording is still available.
Author: Guest While teaching preschool for many years, this tape was the start of most naptimes! Now ordering it for my child, I can't wait to see them enjoy it as well... The reading is beautiful and after listening you can't help but hear that voice when reading it yourself.
Author: Guest The stories are narrated by Glynnis Johns, she played the mother in Mary Poppins. My children listened intently and laughed a lot at irrascible Frances. They asked for the stories over and over.
