Stephen Fry reads the entire collection. what a wonderful way to relive the stories of my childhood. Stephen Fry is a such a good narrator of audio books, it is like being read too by Watson and Holmes.
I hope you , will listen and enjoy this collection as much as I have.

Story
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, reenacting scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly his destiny - until one day his father disappeared. As a young man on a classic cross-country motorcycle trip, he found himself stranded at a rest area in the Blue Ridge Mountains. To pass the time, he read a tattered copy of Hedda Gabler, and in a flash he found himself face-to-face with his original calling.

What an interesting account of his life. love him in Braking Bad but not sure I would swap places. His account of his quest to act and the fame and lack of privacy, is sad.
Well read and maintains the listeners interest.
Well done, Brian.

An interesting insight into the life of Phil Collins. This gifted drummer, singer and performer narrates a warts and all history of his life.
At times, I felt quite sorry for him. Not always enjoyable, but I am sure he may not have enjoyed recalling some of those times either.

Story
Catching all the fascination and humour of travel in out-of-the-way places, One's Company is Peter Fleming's account of his journey through Russia and Manchuria to China when he was Special Correspondent to The Times in the 1930s. Fleming spent seven months with the "object of investigating the Communist situation in South China" at a time when, as far as he knew, "no previous journey had been made to the anti-communist front by a foreigner", and on its publication in 1934, One's Company won widespread critical acclaim.

A wonderful story about travel through China in the early 1930's contrasted with 30's USA, at the end of the book.
Fleming writes with self deprecating humour and allows you to see the journey through his eyes. A glimpse of a world long past when travel was a novelty and the world rested on the edge.

Story
Based on months spent with the battalions in Fallujah and hundreds of interviews at every level (senior policymakers, negotiators, generals, and soldiers and Marines on the front lines) No True Glory is a testament to the bravery of the American soldier and a cautionary tale about the complex, and often costly, interconnected roles of policy, politics, and battle in the twenty-first century.

Well told and read. a comprehensive view of Iraq in the post invasion period.
how decisions made by politicians and diplomats ignore those that know better.
the facts are enlivened with accounts of conflicts about real soldiers and mot just pieces on a board.
a great story.
