About this listen

 Set in the world of the Victorian professional and landed classes, the story centres on Mr Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity who is nevertheless in possession of an income from a charity far in excess of the sum devoted to it.©2008 BBC Audiobooks Ltd (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

A wonderful story well written & just as well narrated.
I hope Trollope has thanked Hawthorne personally.

Nigel Hawthorne's narration is superb.

A perfect reading of Trollope's the Warden by the much missed Nigel Hawthorne.
A few audio glitches (e.g. ~4:52:18) and accidental cuts at the end of audio chapters (e.g. ~2:35:04), but, otherwise, an excellent reading that kept my interest for almost 8 hours.

A bargain at £2.49 when bought with the Kindle eBook (~£1). However, I haven't been able to synchronise the audio & text, and, to be perfectly honest, I'd rather either listen or read this gentle story - not both! (If it was a play or poetry, then perhaps it would work.)

Trollope perfectly read by Nigel Hawthorne

I thought I’d sussed this one early on but I was wrong. There were so many tests and turns including a final one which I definitely didn’t see beforehand..

Another super read read and written well.

Another hit

the sensitive language, the delivery, the story, everything about it was so listenable to!!! the development of characters right through the story made one feel as if the individual characters were personally known to the listener....

I have read a lot of Trollope's books and always love the stories and the rise and fall of action within them. Here the narration makes the book truly come to life. Sit back, watch the fire and listen to an amazing version of this wonderful book.

A treat
