An enjoyable anthology of Chekhov short stories

Some better known ones (although some of the best are not included) and some lesser known ones. Chekhov write around 500 such pieces and there are about thirty to forty of them here, so it's only a cross section but it seems to be a fairly representative cross section.

Nicely read but the background music that appears here and there for no obvious reason does detract and I have to take one point off the performance for that although I suppose it's not the narrator's fault.
