About this listen
A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatisations of Jane Austen's six major novels. Jane Austen is one of the finest writers in the English language, and this volume includes all six of her classic novels.
Mansfield Park: on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle.
Northanger Abbey: young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey.
Sense and Sensibility: forced to leave their family home after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood try to forge a new life at Barton Cottage.
Pride and Prejudice: Mrs Bennet is determined to get her five daughters married well, so when the wealthy Mr Bingley and his friend, Mr Darcy, move into the neighbourhood, her hopes are raised....
Emma: Emma Woodhouse declares she will never marry, but she is determined to find a match for her friend, Harriet.
Persuasion: eight years ago, Anne Elliot rejected a marriage proposal from a handsome but poor naval officer. Now her former love has returned....
With an all-star cast including David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia McKenzie, Jenny Agutter, Toby Jones, Eve Best and Juliet Stevenson, these BBC radio adaptations are full of humour, romance, love lost and love regained. Duration: approx. 14 hours 30 mins.

Wow!
It was so nice to hear all the different actors as Jane's characters. It's was done so well. Not word for word but just as entertaining.

Abridged
I very much enjoyed this heavily abridged program. Had I not a strong familiarity with the stories, however, I might have found it difficult to follow.

Excellent acting
The cast was misrepresented by the cover art: no David Tennant or Benedict Cumberbatch?
Also the way the performances were introduced was inconsistent. In some cases, we were told the cast, in other cases not.

Loved the dramatization, the audio was touch and go
I loved the performances of each piece, but I had to constantly adjust the volume to hear each scene. I listen to books in the car, but I’ve never had this issue with other BBC productions or other audiobooks.
I would still recommend the read 😊

Heavily edited versions
Do you need to know all plot lines of major Austen works today? This is for you.
Otherwise a waste of time.
