Critic reviews

"Harriet Walter's range in these stories is impressive...A real listening pleasure." (The Oldie)

"This excellent production lifts the curtain on some forgotten stories." (The Scotsman)

One story read by a different voice

I got this book to listen to at bedtime. I chose it because the voice is soothing and it contained "A Pair of Silk Stockings." That particular story, however, is read by a different voice, in a louder tone, and the recording isn't as clear. The other stories are good.
