About this listen

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!

Editing problem

During the story "The Cricket on the Hearth," another story comes on at the same time making it impossible to listen to either story. The second story finally stops after a few minutes and the original story is allowed to finish in peace.

Otherwise, not as interesting a collection of stories as volumes 1 and 2, but read by the narrator very enjoyably.

A Mixed Bag

Frankenstein and Diamond as Big as the Ritz were well done, with convincing, non-intrusive narration. The other stories are a real mixed bag of quality both in selection and narration.
