    What the critics say

    "Emilia Fox reads beautifully. She also supplies an appealing, believable voice for Victoria, the Cockney heroine." (AudioFile)
    All stars
    Most Relevant
    Wonderful to hear classics read by accomplished and familiar actors. I would have given 5 stars overall except that there are no pauses between the stories to allow the listener to stay in the moment or ponder a story's conclusion.

    I recommend a 3-5 second pause between stories to increase the impact of each author's work.

    Improve with 3-5 second pause between stories
