"i used to listen to this vinyl wishing that i could hear winston's piano solos without the narration. don't get me wrong, meryl streep does a great job, but having the option of listening to only the piano would have been great. and now that wish has been granted, making this an essential for any fan of george winston or great piano in general."

"This album is absolutely beautiful. When I was a small child, I listened to this cassette over and over, and I couldn't fall asleep without it. The story is a classic, of course, but there is more to the album than that. Meryl Streep narrates the story wonderfully. Her voice is enchanting. The music throughout the album is beautiful, and very haunting.
I think every child should have a copy of this. It inspires a love of storytelling, music, and reading."
