Naturally in 90 stories of different authors and genre, I found some that I couldn't get. but many new ,(to me) and clever. stories. All were read supremely.

Often Excellent Stories

really enjoyable stories, pieces of subtle genius. may not be appreciated by the shallowest of jaded modern readers.

amazing collection of authors of a previous age.

90 stories published between about 1840 and 1930.

Mostly British, with some American, French, and Russian.

An incredible bargain. Readings done for the BBC, so nearly all readers are British.

Wonderful readings of masterpieces

I'd hoped for consistently excellent stories. But there are a sufficient number here for me to recommend the book.

Uneven

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I was looking forward to what I expected to be full cast radio dramas as the bbc is so well known for. These stories are read by a single person.

These are not full cast audio dramas
