“These provide a welcome addition to our collection of Bronteana...the reading is sympathetic and lively and makes most compelling listening.” (Bronte Society)

“Imogen Stubbs reading is enthusiastic...and her reading of Emily’s slow death could not be faulted. Five-star rating.” (Talking Business)
