Great Selection

If you are a classic novel lover this is the best compilation coming after Jane Austin.
I would single out Jane Eyre, The Proffesor and Wuthering Heights.
The only thing I would improve is more clear and concise book division between chapters.

Classic!

I enjoyed everything about this collection. It was a change to have a listen that included several stories by one talented family. The dramatic element was well done and enhanced the classic tales.

Loved it!

So enjoyable. I loved every one of these adaptations. Wonderful novels that really come to life in refreshingly new ways. The interview at the end was an excellent bonus. Highly recommended.

It's so nice to be able to download all these stories in one go. I personally find The Professor and Agnes Grey rather boring, but that's the writing, not the performances. Overall a great listen!

Wonderful
