An interesting mix

Overall enjoyable; but several of these stories were quoted dated in terms of language and content. Heavily weighted toward British upper class sensibility. The quality of writing is excellent but certainly not representative of the diverse background of experiences.

classics nicely assembled.a

very nice. brings one back to a stable uderstanding of life on earth. stabilizing, educational.

extremely interesting short stories

Bronson Pinchot reads a few of them and is amazing. All the pieces are worth listening to and most have surprise endings

Interesting but not as good as number I

Most stories deal now with end of life or melancholy, still a good variety though.

stories good some narrators didn't keep my focus

some of the narrators did not keep my attention but the stories are good. overall good
