Poignant glimpses into the lives of a bygone era from the pen of a master story-teller, expertly voiced by Robert Powell.

Has there ever been a better storyteller than Somerset Maugham? And these are substantial short stories which, if you have the slightest interest in short stories, are gripping.
And the narrator is perfectly suited to delivering them, adapting just the right voice for the different characters.
The only caveat is that many of Somerset Maugham‘s stories are a little bit grim! So if you don’t find suicide and depression in the slightest interesting or entertaining then perhaps try something else!

Perfect
