the worst part of this book is the lack of chapter titles.
the second worst is that, if it's abridged, there is less of Sir Michael Hordern's narration.

Abridged, but it's still M.R. James and Michael Hordern.♥️

Sir Michael Hordern is the ideal narrator. You can smell the scotch and pipe smoke and hear the noise on the landing. Rich and satisfying.

The definitive narration

Thoroughly enjoyable. The audio quality is not five-star at the beginning but stick with it as it improves as the recording goes on. I also listened to the Derek Jacobi narrating of these stories, although I prefer Jacobi, these are still excellent.

Excellent
