Great stories but hard to listen to
No offence to the narrator but this was a bad match for the book. The choice of stories was great so it was a real disappointment to hear the English female as the reader - just didn't fit.

the most inapt performance I have ever heard.
I bought this book because I was well pleased with the works of these great writers. However, an English female accent didn't suit the material. It didn't engage me, but rather became background rambling.
