I love them. I’ve had them in my audio library for years, and love returning to them for their wry humour and humanity - with all its warts!
Alan Bennett has a way of looking at life that makes one realise, it’s not half bad. Even when it’s bad.

Wonderful!

Fantastic!!

Cannot fault the content; Alan Bennett needs no appraisal. The audio book ought to have a list of the plays in running order, with named chapters.

Excellent content. Chapters unnamed and random
