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.

Fantastic!
At first, I wasn’t sure that I would like the tone of Larkin’s voice, but honestly she did AMAZING!! For one, I’m impressed that she did 80 hours worth of Austen! 🙌🏼 but her voices for each character and the passion, enthusiasm and life portrayed in each story was delightful to listen to. Thanks Alison!

Wonderful collection of Austen’s main works
Alison Larkin does a wonderful job narrating this collection of Jane Austen’s best known works. The only annoyance is the naming of each chapter which breaks up the story somewhat and the way Audible have chosen to package the download in chunks which makes it difficult to find the beginning of each separate book.

Fantastic narration of the complete set
Only complaint is difficulty to navigate the novels however I found a review from Jim (thanks Jim!) which describes how the books are downloaded.
Table of Contents/Navigation Guide
Part 1:
Sense and Sensibility Chapters 1-38
Part 2:
Sense and Sensibility Chapters 39-50
Pride and Prejudice Chapters 1-27
Part 3:
Pride and Prejudice Chapters 28-61
Mansfield Park Chapters 1-5
Part 4:
Mansfield Park Chapters 6-45
Part 5:
Mansfield Park Chapters 46-48
Emma Chapters 1-35
Part 6:
Emma Chapters 36-55
Northanger Abbey Chapters 1-18
Part 7:
Northanger Abbey Chapters 19-31
Persuasion Chapters 1-24
If you are looking for the start of particular book, find the ‘Part’ it is in and look for a file that is between 7-10 seconds long. That will be the intro title for the book.
At the beginning I wasn't sure if I would like Alison's voice narrating so many hours of multiple stories. However I quickly worked out the versatility of her voice and dynamic ability to express multiple characters.

Excellent narration
Fantastic narration brings a new dimension to a fantastic series of books. I initially wondered how I would go listening to a woman doing the male voices but Alison Larkin nails it with different voices for different characters. I find myself re-listening to this series every so often.

Jacqui h
Horrible to navigate through the different novels, she reintroduces every single chapter with the seperate book name, and when it’s 10 mins average per chapter it becomes VERY annoying. Also random music in between chapters with her singing?!? Worst buy on audioble by far.
Overall super annoying and there’s definitely a better Audiobook version of Jane Austen’s novels out there.

Don't buy this version. impossible to navigate
This purchase of several books downloads in several sections which DO NOT correspond to the books. There are no book or chapter headings. You can't pick which book to read or even find the beginning of a particular novel. It's useless. Very disappointing, Audible.
