About this listen

Self-made cotton mill owner and braggart Josiah Bounderby marries Thomas Gradgrind's daughter, Louisa. He later accuses a dismissed laborer of stealing from his bank, but the culprit's identity is revealed as a surprise to everyone!

This Dickens tale, about the pratfalls of utilitarianism and the gifts of joy and love, is an underappreciated classic.
