Originating from CSA WORD - the fifth instalment in its famous 'Short Story' compilation series - fine vintage stories that slip down as easily as a 1787 Chateau Lafite but are considerably lighter on the pocket to indulge in.

This excellent value collection features twenty-two complete and unabridged stories from writers as diverse as Saki, P.G. Wodehouse, Jerome K. Jerome, Kate Chopin and Edward Lear. Readers include Derek Jacobi, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Martin Jarvis and Rupert Degas. Ladies and Gentlemen, please raise your glasses to this truly vintage collection...cin cin!

Critic reviews

"A truly vintage collection."
All stars

I had hoped this collection would have introduced me to new 'stories' in a more structured way. There did not seem to be any way of choosing in which order which one listened to these. The chosen order seemed to grate. I would have liked a one sentence introduction to each author. The qualification for 'short' also seemed very variable.

Could have been easier to navigate.

A great collection of short stories that are well read. My biggest gripe is that there are no chapter titles which means the only time you are told the title, author and performance is verbally at the start of research story, it is not possible to search or check what it who you are listening to. I have other audible titles like this, but in a collection of short stories it is ridiculous. stories are good, but Amazon have failed dismally
otherwise, highly recommended.

A wonderful collection

Good readers but a poor collection of stories. I should think the most boring stories written by the respective and usually respected authors. Cruelty to the readers (very good but at least they get paid!) and especially to the groaningly bored listeners.

Boring Stories

Great selection of narrators , but the vast majority of the stories really are boring dross . Almost like afterthoughts from the authors themselves . Not the first time I’ve purchased from this particular “ collection “ company either . Avoid

Great narration , utter dishwater stories
