Your message is very thought provoking. I am so glad you can navigate the Internet world, many of your generation do not as it scares them. I agree these audio books are fabulous. Keep listening and enjoying x
This is the wonderful part of this day. It's getting me through challenging times. I am a anglophile. My husband is ill. a fan of the fab four The Beatles. I love Roald Dahl and J.R.R.Tolkien. my favorite authors. I will gladly subscribe.
The most wonderful story I've ever heard on youtube. I knew of this author but had never read him. The narrator I liked very much also, as this is a crucial aspect of enjoyment. But the story takes it away! Thank You, I will look for more.
I listen to your adiobooks when I am going to sleep, it is the only thing that gets me to go to sleep. The wonderful story of Henry sugar is my favorite.
What a wonderful story! I enjoyed every detail of it in a sleepless night. Reading the text at the same time turned it into an even more complete experience. Thank you.
Having read (and Re-read) this as a kid, I've spent loads of time trying to accomplish seeing without my eyes. Roald Dahl is brilliant at creating in us the longing for the fantastic and impossible.
I agree with you 100% there is so much magic in all of his stories. It really gets the mind wondering and the full capacity of human potential. You might enjoy the video below. It's my commentary of the book on a new channel I am beginning to develop.
The impossible is more possible than you think, and just as fantastic. There is a place you can go and train your incredible abilities, Vibravison. It is a branch off from the Indonesian martial art merpati putih. Anyone is more than capable of learning extraordinary abilities.
Thanks for doing this Lewis, so hard to find stories for kids to just sit and listen to. It's really important for children to just sit quietly, it's very much missing in society today. My son (7) has thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Roald Dahl stories, he's not much of a reader but these have given him a reason to want to read. I don't think it'll ever be his favourite thing to do but at least this way he's not missing out.
Thanks for sharing. Yes, these AudioEbooks help people that might not be confident readers to gain access to these wonderful stories. There are so many Dahl classics for him to enjoy. Has he read any others?
This was such a wonderful story. He went from being a despicable man...well, I won't comment anymore in case someone reading this, hasn't. 😊 You did such an excellent job reading and I appreciate being able to follow along when I needed to. Thank you so much for sharing this story. I'm looking forward to listening & reading the next story. 😍

That didn't happen...I was immediately hooked, listened straight through reading along with the transcript. Now it is lunch time, still sitting in the same spot and no coffee. Thank you so much!!

Wow, lovely story. I am sick in bed finally on the mend from the flu. Thank you reading this great story, sometimes it to much work watching tv, much nicer to relax and listen to story read by a wonderful narrator. 😊
Hey thank you! It’s nice to be out of bed today. Having the windows open and airing out the house from everyone being sick ( and a nice stack of dirty dishes and laundry washing waiting for me) But I wanted to say I listened to The Twits last night and was cracking up, the voices you do are wonderful! I definitely recommend you! When Mrs Twitch got the shrinks, he sent her up with all those balloons I got a great laugh from that and the wormy spaghetti to, I would of loved to prank that on my little bratty brother back in the day as we were always pranking each other. I will be looking for all your stories, and what was that about TH-cam demonetizing you? How can I help?

Hi Lewis, what a fabulous book with a twist. Who would of thought the self indulgent Mr Sugar would have become a philanthropist? I listen to audiobooks while doing crossword puzzles. Have subscribed to your our TH-cam channel as well. Thank you. 🇦🇺🦘
@@lewiskirk8289 This is the best audio! Could your next one be 'My mums going to explode!' By Jeremy Strong? It's a book series I'm obsessed with! But I haven't managed to get my hands on the book series.
I say the man who could see objects without using his eyes was inspired when Roald Dahl was blind for a whole month when he was in the Raf and crashed in Libya and stayed in a hospital there. Anybody else thinks that theory could be true
Most of us find a 0 balance terrifying. Many of us struggle with that fear daily. It's our worlds way to offset complacency. I'm not sure if there's a better way.
Last time I heard that story, I came out: 1. Wondering if I could see with my eyes closed. 2. If Henry Sugar was real. It's fun how a story well done like that could stir your imagination!
That was a long story and I almost gave up on it because it seemed so long and knew that it must come do a bad end. However, I am glad I stuck it out because now I can go to sleep with all those warm happy children in my head thanks to the idea of never giving up on someone .
❤ I’m obsessively in love with this story and the way you read it! I’m secretly forcing everyone I love to listen to it too, (So that we can talk about it and share the love)! ❤thank you!
It really is a great story! And there is a lot of truth in the yogi exercises. Maybe not to see without eyes, but to increase concentration and awareness.
You're welcome! I have been interested in Yoga, siddhis and occult powers for years. I agree Roald Dahl made them very accessible through this story. And the fact that Henry Sugar set out wanting to achieve the powers for selfish ends, but after all of the practice and attaining the powers, he had a more noble life calling. Beautiful story!
It's a great story and nicely read thank you. Can anyone explain how Henry has the power to beat the Roulette wheel ? I just can not grasp how he wins in that part of the story, the winning at the cards is self explanatory and flows with the story but him winning at the Roulette wheel just threw me. tia.
According to the British inflation calculator, £20 in 1935 is worth £1,431.75 today Since there is no mention as to the date of his first winnings, if I suppose this happens 20 years after the date in the notebook, then, Henry’s first win (and throw away over his balcony) of £6,600 in 1955, that would be worth £174,301.77 in 2020. No wonder the crowd down below were truly amazed at how valuable the banknotes were!
What an interesting bit of information! Thanks for looking into this for us. Roald Dahl does allude to their value in the story when he says something like, 'many people had never seen a £20 note before', but of course he could never have been as detailed as your inflation information. Thanks again.
I forgot to include that £174,301.77 divided by £20 is £8,715.09 Of course, in the book he read - it is 20 years earlier, so I had to look into it....and £6,600 in 1935 (earlier I calculated it at 1955) is worth £472,478.38 today ...divided by 20, that £20.00 would be worth £23,623.92 today..... so, imagine (dumbfounded expression on my own face right now!), if one recipient had received theirs 20 years earlier, and kept their note in a frame, and passed it down through the family, today, that note would be worth a staggering ££23,623.92 at 12:02 AM August 07 2020. I have to mention, that during the lockdown, when all the smaller and medium sized shoppes in my downtown were closed here in Guelph, Ontario, that enormous money-grabber big box store based in the states starting with the letter ‘w’ was allowed to stay open because they had food. Countless Canadians shopped there, and they bought EHHHHHHHHverything, instead of just food ~ not giving a rat’s behind about the national/local economy. I would imagine that this time next year, our canadian dollar will be worth about $0.10. What a heartbreaking pill to swallow.
I am disheartened by the fact that you are lonely. I can understand that, at 82, a lot of your friends and family have probably passed on. I hope your loneliness isn't due to us living in a culture that has a disregard for people your age. I respect my elders, and heed their acquired wisdom. I guess that means I'll listen to this book.
for some reason they made the amount won £30,000 instead of £3000, in the 2023 adapation. Did anderson not think that viewers would not be aware of inflation?
Great story, I’m 82 years old this facility helps me to endure my loneliness, thank you.

Of course, in the book he read - it is 20 years earlier, so I had to look into it....and £6,600 in 1935 (earlier I calculated it at 1955) is worth £472,478.38 today
...divided by 20, that £20.00 would be worth £23,623.92 today..... so, imagine (dumbfounded expression on my own face right now!), if one recipient had received theirs 20 years earlier, and kept their note in a frame, and passed it down through the family, today, that note would be worth a staggering ££23,623.92 at 12:02 AM August 07 2020.
I have to mention, that during the lockdown, when all the smaller and medium sized shoppes in my downtown were closed here in Guelph, Ontario, that enormous money-grabber big box store based in the states starting with the letter ‘w’ was allowed to stay open because they had food. Countless Canadians shopped there, and they bought EHHHHHHHHverything, instead of just food ~ not giving a rat’s behind about the national/local economy. I would imagine that this time next year, our canadian dollar will be worth about $0.10. What a heartbreaking pill to swallow.
I really like the voice when u say roald dahl and it is very good
I am disheartened by the fact that you are lonely. I can understand that, at 82, a lot of your friends and family have probably passed on. I hope your loneliness isn't due to us living in a culture that has a disregard for people your age.
I respect my elders, and heed their acquired wisdom.
I guess that means I'll listen to this book.

for some reason they made the amount won £30,000 instead of £3000, in the 2023 adapation. Did anderson not think that viewers would not be aware of inflation?
