A review by ladynigelia
The Land of Green Ginger by Noel Langley
5.0
I grew up listening to this reading of The Land of Green Ginger - as a cassette tape recorded from the vinyl record. I was thrilled to find that the original radio station recording was available for download:

The rebroadcast also includes tidbits about the history of the recording and the book itself. I did not know how old the story was or that it had gone through so many revisions!
Now that I'm an adult that regularly listens to audiobooks, I have enough information to make judgements on reader quality, and I realize just how spoiled we were to have this amazing reading of this story. Langley really gives an outstanding performance with absurd characters and delightful ditties. I'll be indoctrinating my (future) kids on this story as well.
