Jim Dale narrates Peter and the Starcatchers with the same elastic, character-shifting energy he brought to Harry Potter — every pirate gets a distinct growl, every orphan boy a different shade of defiance, and the whole nine-hour runtime moves at a clip that never lets the adventure stall out. Three of the recommendations are by Dale himself, most hit a similar runtime, and all of them carry that same sense of headlong fantasy where the is clearly having as much fun as you are.
