4 stars!!
Most of the stories in this composition were wonderful and I greatly enjoyed them (I will probably relisten to them again), but the story "Withering Heights" was a tougher story to listen to but the actors did an excellent job reading their parts.

Most stories are depressing and/or cruel but...
...performance is fabulous. In every story there is cruelty, abuse, brutality, and meanness so they are rather depressing. Not great stories if you ask me, but I really enjoyed the performances.

Loved hearing several character performances.
I love BBC television and movies. so glad to find this type of narrative by multiple characters. I would have given five stars, but I hated the repeated musical introductions.
