Extremely good

Although I think some of the choices were less than ideal (I would have omitted Dickens for two reasons - everyone anthologises it and I think it is a silly story) the quality is, overall, high. However, the reading is absolutely superb.

Great collection

Well written period pieces. Good variety of stories. Reader was captivating and added great caricature to each piece.
