The Audiobook You Never Knew Anne Hathaway Narrated
Anne Hathaway's versatility voices the characters of Dorothy Gale, The Tin Man, The Scarecrow, and a few wicked witches for a retelling of L. Frank Baum's "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The publisher's note mentions the actress' own feelings about narrating the story. "It's such a wonderful book and I was so happy to be a part of bringing it to life . . . There are a lot of great voices in it. The more fun you have with it, the sillier and the more free you get with it, the better it is because it's a story that can handle it. It's amazing to be able to discover something new about something you feel you know so well," she said (via Audible).
The 4-hour-long audiobook was received well, with over 8,400 people giving it 4.5 stars out of 5 on Audible. Hathaway herself was nominated for an Audie Award for female solo narration. Critics in Audio File Magazine also wrote, "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."
