Penguin presents the unabridged audiobook edition of Annie, read by Annie Potts
'Annie' began in 1924 as the heroine of a comic strip cartoon called LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE. Her adventures ran in newspapers in America for over 40 years before it was turned into a Broadway musical.
It's 1933 and for as long as she can remember, 11 year old Annie has believed that her mother and father would come back to her New York City orphanage to get her. But mean Miss Hannigan the headmistress is making Annie's life a misery. So she runs away to find her parents - and along the way she rescues a friendly dog, meets millionaire Oliver Warbucks, and has a many scary and exciting adventures. Will kind-hearted Annie find a way to escape her hard-knock life?
The author THOMAS MEEHAN is the playwright of the original Broadway play and he has expanded the story of the plucky little orphan in this classic American tale.

      Annie Potts's rousing narration captures the heart of the high-spirited, plucky Annie in this classic children's story about an orphan who finds a family that loves her. Potts's range of tones nicely contrasts the orphans' personalities, bringing out Pepper's boldness and fire as well as little Molly's meekness. Potts portrays the cruel Miss Hannigan's harsh shrillness when she scolds the children in her orphanage; in contrast, Potts portrays Miss Farrell's sweetness towards Annie with a gentle, soothing voice. Potts does not always transition smoothly from voice to voice, and at times her narration is rushed. But listeners may be too captivated with the overall character portrayals and energetic pace of the story to really mind. M.F. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
