A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatisations of Jane Austen's six major novels. Jane Austen is one of the finest writers in the English language, and this volume includes all six of her classic novels.

Mansfield Park: on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle.

Northanger Abbey: young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey.

Sense and Sensibility: forced to leave their family home after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood try to forge a new life at Barton Cottage.

Pride and Prejudice: Mrs Bennet is determined to get her five daughters married well, so when the wealthy Mr Bingley and his friend, Mr Darcy, move into the neighbourhood, her hopes are raised....

Emma: Emma Woodhouse declares she will never marry, but she is determined to find a match for her friend, Harriet.

Persuasion: eight years ago, Anne Elliot rejected a marriage proposal from a handsome but poor naval officer. Now her former love has returned....

With an all-star cast including David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia McKenzie, Jenny Agutter, Toby Jones, Eve Best and Juliet Stevenson, these BBC radio adaptations are full of humour, romance, love lost and love regained. Duration: approx. 14 hours 30 mins.

Loved everyone of these Jane Austin plays , great acting , enjoyed listening to them over and over again , well worth the money .

Brilliant audio plays

First, in Sense & Sensibility the over acting by actress playing Marian ruins this great play. Rather than finesse, the actress's temperament is Nasty, Loud, Paranoid & Hysterical & this is not at all how Marian should be.

The rest of the plays are well produced and acted by a superb bunch
of professional actors. So definitely 5 stars. This is a great collection & well worth several listens.

FANTASTIC but RUINED HYSTERICAL ACTING IN SENSE & SENSIBILITY
