" The Picture of Dorian Gray is now universally regarded as a major Victorian novel, and has been adapted for the stage, film, and television more than a dozen times, with no end in sight." (David J. Skal, Horror: Another 100 Best Books)

I first read this many years ago and felt it was an over long short story. Coming back to it now I am prepared to linger over the luscious prose. Just wonderful and beautifully performed in this version. Bravo!

A wonderful story divinely narrated. Edward Petherbridge has the most perfect voice for this, or indeed any, classic novel.

What made the experience of listening to The Picture of Dorian Gray the most enjoyable?

Edward Petherbridge's reading is simply wonderful!He moves from light touch humour to heart-rending pathos with stunning skill.The story is a little long winded in parts but Mr Petherbridge never fails to entertain and transfix.

Which character – as performed by Edward Petherbridge – was your favourite?

The development of the characters is quite clunky, for modern tastes, but you are held in Mr Petherbridge's grasp throughout.

Any additional comments?

Buy it - Listen to it and If you can turn it off then you are not a human being :)
