James Henry Trotter lives with two ghastly hags. Aunt Sponge is enormously fat with a face that looks boiled and Aunt Spiker is bony and screeching. He's very lonely until one day something peculiar happens. . . At the end of the garden a peach starts to grow and GROW AND GROW. Inside that peach are seven very unusual insects - all waiting to take James on a magical adventure. But where will they go in their GIANT PEACH, and what will happen to the horrible aunts if they stand in their way? There's only one way to find out . . .

Was a quick, enjoyable listen, the narrator was great!
There were weird background sound effects, but mostly I was able to ignore them, which I'd have rather not had them present but they didn't bother me much.
There is a weird Tim Burton element to some of the story, that choice for the movie makes more sense after listening to the text. But there is also this wonderful Dahl-ness of happiness and almost twee moments too. I did some live updates during the listen, I hope those are stored somewhere...
