Summer: Stories from the Collection News from Lake Wobegon Audio CD – Unabridged, March 18, 1997

I bought this as a birthday gift for my son. I have the cassette tape set and he grew up listening to these stories and laughing over them with me. Now his son is that age and he wants to pass on the tradition. They have already begun listening and enjoyed these stories together. I never tire of hearing them and the entertaining way Garrison Keillor develops the characters and the interlinking narratives. My favorite of the summer stories (and my son's, too) is "Tomato Butt."

Always entertaining, good for car rides

I have bought several of his CD's. I love his story telling but wasn't sure how my grandson's would like audio story telling at 6 & 10..they love it, I will be adding to this collection

If you enjoy the old radio days and want them to be humorous this is the CD for you. It may remind you of things you did in your childhood with Garrison Keillor's witticisms added. I was a bit disappointed that it was only one disc long. Perhaps if the price had been a bit cheaper that would not have bothered me . He has a disc like this for each season of the year and I personally would have like to have seen all four in a disc box for one price.

Not my type of humor as I didn't really find any of it funny. I probably laughed twice during the whole CD. But that's fine as I can appreciate nice clean family appropriate material in our day and time where anything goes.

I grew up listening to this series and thought is was hilarious. After telling my wife how great they were I bought this for a trip we were taking; upon listening to it I realized that it was not at all what I remembered. It has it's funny parts, but overall I was disappointed.

I bought this and two other News from Lake Wobegon for a long car trip. They were so funny that I listened to them on the way and again on the way back. I'll definitely buy some of the other titles. Just wish they were longer.

Great family entertainment when traveling. I was disappointed in the length of the CD. It should be a 2 or 3 CD set.

I haven't hear this for years and its just as good as i remember - I recommend it to anyone who wants a first taster but please do go on and hear all of Lake Wobegone Days - its a real classic and his voice is so soothing even as he makes you laugh

A brilliantly funny collection of stories, narrated by a master.

good

as expected
