About this listen

This was to be an age of excess for some, and plenty for others. An age when the ruling classes enjoyed a secret life of large-scale adultery. Plus, the story of a female celebrity cook whose quail puddings were loved by the King. But was there more to their relationship?

In my mind, Fry can do no wrong. While this may not lead to the most objective reflection, this text only serves to reinforce the view that Fry is an intelligent and benevolent voice with the power to calm and distract in our manic world.
The text has been creatively constructed with terrific production value. Complete with a music score (that actually works), voice actors to play quirky historical characters, and some historians who are almost as loveable as Fry himself. All this culminates to richly illustrate a wonderful and surprising wacky world of rich aristocrats, illustrious (sometimes alluring) ladies, cunning commoners and everything in between.
There seem much to be learned from this historical text, so prepare for your curiosity to be wetted and your wonder ignited in this marvellous creation by Steven Fry and co.
