Publisher's Summary

Who says that you can't have it all? Adventure, romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and fine literature? Infinite variety - that is what you find here. Classic literature has never been presented so approachably. You will savor the chills from Edgar Allan Poe, then smilingly shake your head as a man dupes an entire town. 

You will hear how Sherlock Holmes solves a case for Bohemian nobility, then marvel as a man destroys his life over a piece of string. Whether it be witchdoctors battling each other with lightning, a mad tea party, or a country composed of blind people, each title is guaranteed to bring you closer to the great minds who shaped the world around us with their glorious words. 

Each tale is complete and unabridged. Running time is over 39 hours!

Classics that awaken your better self

There's a few mild horror themes in this collecting but the selections really gave me a good idea of the top level in this genre.
The other options are absolutely wonderful in variety.

there's just a portion in minute 41-42 of the very last story- The Cricket on the Hearth - that has a production error. Jeeves sings a Christmas Carol over the top of an important scene😂

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
