James and the Giant Peach #1


 This is my reading (with some very erratic accents - at some point I will re-record this with more consistent - if not more convincing - ones) of Roald Dahl's 1961 children's adventure story 'James and the Giant Peach'. This first part goes up to the discovery of the peach's inhabitants. 

For those listeners with children, please give careful thought to who would look after your children in the event that you get eaten by a rhinoceros. I believe these sorts of incidents are on the increase. Clearly lack of planning in this department of life can lead to years of unexpected misery.
