Well written period pieces. Good variety of stories. Reader was captivating and added great caricature to each piece.

Although I think some of the choices were less than ideal (I would have omitted Dickens for two reasons - everyone anthologises it and I think it is a silly story) the quality is, overall, high. However, the reading is absolutely superb.

Extremely good
