Disappointing
The mix of stories was good, but the narrator was completely the wrong person for many of them, with poor renditions of British accents and a lot of mispronounciations. Compare, for instance, his reading of a 'Bulldog Drummond' story compared with that of Roy McMillan on another Audible book, which can be sampled. If this is representative of the 'Big Book...' series I will not be buying another.

Superb worth every penny
I saw only one other review of one star because of the layout But this is really excellent It does everything that it promises Superb stories from a golden age. It is well performed. No there are no chapter headings but the app allows for Ray voice notes I am really glad I bought this book
