James and the Giant Peach / Roald Dahl, read by Jeremy Irons [CD-ROM]


James and the Giant Peach is the fantastic story of James Henry Trotter who discovers a gigantic peach growing in an old tree. He begins to explore the confines of this incredable fruit and encounters some equally large and fantastic bugs. The entire crew of this giant peach decide to go on a voyage of and this is the story of James' adventures. All of the characters seem to have their "issues," just as James does living a miserable existence with his two oppressive aunts.

The story of James and the Giant Peach comes from the fertile mind of Roald Dahl who comes up with some of the most incredable stories I have read. Needless to say that Dahl is one of my favourite authors and the talented voice of Jeremy Irons gives this CD-ROM great appeal form those who wish to take a marvelous journey without even leaving their easy chair.
