Bambi

By: Felix Salten, Janet Schulman

Narrated by: Frank Dolan

Originally published in 1923, Felix Salten's Bambi is adapted here by Janet Schulman. Perhaps the first "ecological" novel ever written, Bambi has become for everyone a glimpse into forest life with all its enchantment and perils.

Listeners of all ages will be transported to a forest glade as actor Frank Dolan creates this magical listening experience of a beloved story.

Life Lessons

A fine story to share with children of early school age. it inspires meaningful conversations about life and love and kindness.

boys love classic Bambi

my boys 6 and 4 listen to Bambi before bedtime, it captures their attention and they said its a 5 star. It has background music throughout, which I thoight was a little loud. This audio book gives my voice a nice break.

Fantastic job and great work on the narration too

Beautiful narration by Frank Dolan The story is fantastic as well as the story of Bambi

Love the story not so much the narrator.

Frank Dolan did a pretty good job but the voice did put me to sleep a little bit. It’s good if you’re trying to go to sleep which I found quite nice but not so great during the day. Overall I liked it to fall asleep to, but I don’t love listening to it during the day, I gave it five stars because I’m in a good mood and because I usually listen during the night anyway. (I don’t want this to get too long so this’ll be the end).

Good for children and adults

An abridge of Felix Salten and unabridged of Janet Schulman version, is my major complaint. Now that aside I love Bambi. It is not what Walt depicted. To me it is an alagory of the time that it was written. It was published in 1929, the author was European. They are already in the Great Depression. Who is the "Hunter"? Do the Leaves depict the fall of the stock market? There is much wisdom here.
