A Voices in the Wind Audio Theatre production

In this beloved children's tale, Dorothy, her dog Toto, and their Kansas farmhouse are carried away by a tornado to a faraway country called Oz. It's a magical, fantastical land of Munchkins, wizards, and wicked witches. But it's no place like home ...

Desperate to return to Kansas, Dorothy and Toto, and their newfound friends Scarecrow, Tin Man and Cowardly Lion, set out on a perilous journey along the yellow brick road in search of the Emerald City. There they hope to meet the legendary and all-powerful Wizard of Oz, who alone has the power to grant them their every wish!

This dramatized version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz features a full cast of beloved characters, accompanied by music and sound effects. Children—and adults—will find their imaginations fully engaged by this audio presentation of the great American classic.

      • content: They're all here, of course: the Cowardly Lion, witches and the Tin Man. Not to mention the Scarecrow and the mighty Wizard! Into this magical land come Dorothy and Toto, who only want to find their way back to Kansas. If your only experience with Baum's fantasy is the Judy Garland film, you ought to spend a couple of hours with this lively full-cast presentation. This adaptation is performed in radio-theater style with sound effects and music. The packaging--two cassettes in a flimsy cardboard case--will never last long with kids, however. P.B.J.

        October 24, 2011
        Ninth in Ingpen���s series of illustrated classics, this atmospheric outing blends elements of American realism with elegant whimsy. With surprising emotion, Ingpen conveys the Tin Woodman���s grim transformation, one limb at a time, from a human into a metal automaton; his scrawny Wicked Witch of the West, with her spidery black hair, overcoat, and striped stockings, would be equally at home roaming New York City���s West Village as she would the yellow brick road. Readers yet to discover the story of Oz will find a wholly original vision in this edition. Ages 10���up.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: Anne Hathaway is nothing short of masterful in her narration of Baum's beloved classic. As she guides listeners through the world of munchkins, winkies, and quadlings; witches; and the humbug Oz, Hathaway's impressive vocal repertoire shines. As narrator, she is lithe yet precise; her voice sounds lilting or emphatic, as the story details require. In character, she is spectacular. Each character is filled with personality--a light-voiced Witch of the North; a brusque soldier at Oz's palace; a monotone, robot-like Oz; and a usually cheerful and genuine Dorothy. The variety enriches the listening experience. Yes, one may know the story well, but Hathaway makes this recording a definitive one. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine

        Baum���s classic comes to life in this winning audio edition. When a cyclone whisks Dorothy Gale to the Land of Oz, her only hope of returning to Kansas is to find the Wizard, who lives in the heart of the Emerald City. Following the Yellow Brick Road, Dorothy encounters friends and foes���e.g., the endearing Scarecrow and the malevolent Wicked Witch of the West���that help and hinder her journey. Tavia Gilbert���s whimsical narration will appeal to listeners young and old. Additionally, the distinct voices she creates for each character make for a delightful listening experience. Those only familiar with the film adaptation will be pleasantly surprised by the original story and Gilbert���s fantastic narration. Ages 10���up.
