Great Stories

The stories were excellent! I loved the selection. I personally didn't care much for the narrator- I felt that her style didn't really complement the stories. She did kinda grow on me some over the course of the 24 hours of listening though.

Great would not be the word I would use

This book came up when I searched for R. Austin Freeman. I did not find these comparable.
