About this listen

A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatisations of Jane Austen's six major novels. Jane Austen is one of the finest writers in the English language, and this volume includes all six of her classic novels.

Mansfield Park: on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle.

Northanger Abbey: young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey.

Sense and Sensibility: forced to leave their family home after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood try to forge a new life at Barton Cottage.

Pride and Prejudice: Mrs Bennet is determined to get her five daughters married well, so when the wealthy Mr Bingley and his friend, Mr Darcy, move into the neighbourhood, her hopes are raised....

Emma: Emma Woodhouse declares she will never marry, but she is determined to find a match for her friend, Harriet.

Persuasion: eight years ago, Anne Elliot rejected a marriage proposal from a handsome but poor naval officer. Now her former love has returned....

With an all-star cast including David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia McKenzie, Jenny Agutter, Toby Jones, Eve Best and Juliet Stevenson, these BBC radio adaptations are full of humour, romance, love lost and love regained. Duration: approx. 14 hours 30 mins.

Extremely enjoyable performances

Very well done to a high standard, brilliant performances. Only jarring note for me were some inaccuracies... for example Anne Elliot is Sir Walter's middle child...not his youngest!

short and entertaining

every book narrated I find myself googling the cast. I find the dramatization very entertaining. I have unabridged versions of my favourite Jane Austen novels but listen to this collection for entertainment.

A delight

I love the classic Jane Austen works and these radio dramatizations are quite well done! Although some of the nuances of the novels are lost, the story and feeling shines through brightly. The musical accompaniment is fitting and adds life to the scripting. This is truly a delightful audible experience :)

Absolutely fantastic, perfect to listen to on my long car journeys home from work.

I highly recommend this collection, I love the classics and have read these books many times so I wasn't too sure that I would like this, but it's fabulous well worth the money. Go on, treat yourself 😄

Fabulous performance

Very happy worth all of these stories, however slightly missed as the narrators listed were only in the first story but still enjoyed the full works. Well worth it :)

Listen to the book whilst preparing dinners. As a fan of Austen and being aware of the stories it was easy to follow.

Acting is very good, but stories a bit simplified. Overall I've enjoined to listen to it. Good value for money.
