About this listen

“…narrating the novels of Jane Austen reminded me that no matter how much the world changes, human nature never does.” (Alison Larkin)

Ever since Colin Firth's Mr. Darcy emerged from the lake in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, the novels of Jane Austen have become more popular than ever, delighting millions of fans all over the world. Now, Alison Larkin's critically acclaimed narrations of Austen's six completed novels are brought together in this very special 200th anniversary audio edition. "Alison Larkin's narration will captivate listeners from the first sentence", raves AudioFile magazine about the Earphones Award-winning recording of Sense and Sensibility, which starts the collection.

Hailed by The Times as "marvelously light footed...hugely entertaining," Alison Larkin is the perfect vessel to bring the deft, satirical novels of Jane Austen to sparkling new life.

Alison Larkin is the best-selling author of The English American, a comedienne and the award-winning narrator of over 150 audiobooks. In addition to Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice with Songs from Regency England, Mansfield Park, Persuasion & Poems, Emma and Northanger Abbey and the History of England by Jane Austen, other classic narrations include Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass; Fairytales of the Fiercer Sex by the Brothers Grimm, et al; Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (with James Warwick); Peter Pan & the Inconsiderate Waiter; and Agatha Christie's The Secret Adversary.

Title and end music: "The Lonely Ash Grove", sung by Alison Larkin.

Excellent, nuanced reading of these great books

I was thoroughly impressed. I've got versions of these from Librevox which are superb and so wasn't expecting this reader to be as good as Karen Savage or Elizabeth Klett but she was! Alison Larkin clearly knows the stories well and reads them with intelligence, intuition, and love.
I appreciated the little musical interludes. They added style and atmosphere to the recordings.
Six of the greatest works of the English language for the price of one is more than a bargain. It is a gift.
The reader is amazing. I think it is very difficult for women to read for men's parts but I was seldom taken out of the story by her reading and various voices.
I listened to these six books twice through before leaving this review. I've listened to various versions of all of Jane Austen's books more than a dozen times. Very glad to add these to my collection and will listen again.

like books

I gave 5 stars because I like the books. I do wish the chapters had been broken down better, as I have seen in my other selections that contain more than one story. It was hard to find the place where you left off, if you went out of the book and then back in.

great deal

the books are not sorted, its just ongoing chapters. Titles are supplied by audio only so in order to listen to Emma I have to take notes as to which of the 60 odd chapters that story is in. However it is all six books a one reasonable price.

Lovely story

Quite an intriguing writing in comparison to present day speech and behavior.
It was very long and I almost gave up on it but I couldn't do that it was still to intriguing to quit.
I loved it!!!
