A Charming Series on Victorian History
As usual Stephen Fry brings his unique charm and storytelling skills to this series. I have a great love for Victorian history and this was fun, informative and educational. I have recommended this too so many people.

Chapters vs Episodes
I would of gave 5 stars overall but it irritated me that there was no way to have the episodes play consistently. Instead of continuing to the next episode as if it were the next chapter, it comes full stop and you have to fart around to get to the next one. A playlist option would be nice so I dont have to drop what I'm doing to queue the next up.

Excellent!
A wonderful scan of Victorian mores and interesting facts. Stephen Fry, as always is masterful at narrating. The episodes are interspersed with readings, analysis and sound recordings that enhance each story and the enjoyment of same. Great production. Very well done!

Brilliantly Stephen!
This is Stephen Frey in all his narrative glory. His playful telling of these scintillating stories makes for a very entertaining listen and the facts given to illustrate the truth behind the stories are wonderfully educational! A must-listen to be sure!

Stephen Fry is a master storyteller...
What a special treat to find out this was free on Audible! Noone tells a tale as well Stephen Fry, and he certainly delivers, yet again, with these illuminating, educational, and totally juicy accounts of the Victorian era! Stephen Fry, you're a gift to the world!
