About this listen

Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, Goodnight Mister Tom is of one of the best-loved stories set during the Second World War.
Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian is the unforgettable story of young Willie Beech, evacuated to the country as Britain stands on the brink of the Second World War. A sad, deprived child, he slowly begins to flourish under the unlikely care of grumpy old Tom Oakley. But then his new-found happiness is shattered by a summons from his mother to come back to London. As the weeks pass by, Tom begins to worry when William doesn't answer his letters, so he goes to London to find him, and there makes a terrible discovery.

Critic reviews
"Everyone's idea of a smash-hit novel: full-blown characters to love and hate, moments of grief and joy and a marvellous story that knows just how to grab the emotions." (Guardian)

Perfect evening listening for two OAP's
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed being taken back in time while listening to Goodnight Mr Tom on audible. We both cried in parts. It was thrilling to be transported into Williams world. Excellent voice reading it.

good night Mr Tom is suitable for kids 7 or over any younger they probably wouldn't understand very well but me and my daughter adored it and we're are sad that it's ended it is just the best because I listened to good night Mr Tom when I was about 8 or 9 but I'm grateful that she had sat and thunk about what to write but she produced an fantastic book thanks for writing this everyone loves it !!!❤📘

A Beautiful Story
I've seen the film adaption, but it didn't compare to the book. A beautiful, heart warming story. Well written and the narrator was excellent. I was sad for it to end.

voice of William put me off
I liked it except the voice of evacuee Willy which was awful and made him sound dim and whiny.

Happy!!
Good book! good book! I love this and sad in parts and also happy! I love it.
This was written by my ten year old daughter. She tells me she liked this book more than Harry Potter, which is very high praise! We enjoyed listening to it every evening before bed and I have to admit, I loved it too. It is a beautifully written book and the reader does a wonderful job.
