Edmond Dantès, an innocent young sailor, falls into despair when he is arrested on a false charge of treason and thrown into prison without a trial. He learns of his friends' betrayal from the Abbé Faria, an equally innocent prisoner, and plots his revenge following a daring, if nightmarish escape from the Chateau d'If. After becoming a wealthy man, he assumes the guise of the urbane Count of Monte-Cristo and begins to entrap his enemies one by one.

Anthony Valentine has a great voice but the story is so heavily abridged that it becomes completely meaningless.

A 50 Hour story squished into 3

This a long story severely truncated. The only positive was wonderful voice and performance of the late, great Anthony Valentine.

I do love the Talking Classics series. Again, this was beautifully done, although I feel that I am missing so much due to never having read the full-length version. With many of the books, I am familiar with the unabridged versions, which helps. Excellent narration.
