Publisher's Summary
Enthralling radio dramatisations of eight of Charles Dickens' much-loved novels.
Charles Dickens is one of the most renowned authors of all time, and this second digital volume of the dramatised canon of his work includes eight of his classic novels.
This collection includes the epic masterpiece David Copperfield, described by Dickens as his 'favourite child'; suspenseful mystery Bleak House; Dickens' most openly political novel, Hard Times; and Little Dorrit, a sweeping tale of imprisonment, poverty and riches. Also included are A Tale of Two Cities, set during the French Revolution; coming-of-age novel Great Expectations; sweeping satire of wealth and corruption Our Mutual Friend; and Dickens' final, unfinished story, The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
With a star cast including Robert Glenister, Robert Lindsay, Honeysuckle Weeks, Kenneth Cranham, Sir Ian McKellen, Alison Steadman, Geraldine McEwan, Andrew Scott and Ian Holm, these radio adaptations bring Dickens' imaginative world to colourful, captivating life.

Great way to get to know these classic stories
Listening to these stories is a great way to get to know such classic works. The Narrators and sounds teams do a fantastic job bringing the characters and settings to life.

A Delight, a wonder, a treat...thank you BBC
What a wonderful 33 hours I had. Laughter, tears, dismay - a whole gambit of emotions. The cast and the adaptations were superb. Nothing better.

Disappointing.
it is overly dramatized and hard to tell what Dickens wrote and what is added commentary.
