    Some Christians still look upwards like the disciples did when Jesus ascended. Writer and lecturer, Paula Gooder asks what did heaven mean at the time of the New Testament and how do we translate those beliefs into our modern world?

    Would you consider the audio edition of Pie in the Sky to be better than the print version?

    As this is a lecture I am sure it is better listened to rather than read.

    "Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales continue to exert the same pull over the imagination and emotions as they did when he first read them to his children in the 1880s. Written with inspired poetic intensity and sudden flowerings of the matchless wit for which he is so well remembered, the stories combine the wisdom of parables with the impact of drama."

    If you could sum up Stephen Fry Presents a Selection of Oscar Wilde's Short Stories in three words, what would they be?

    warm, heartfelt, thoughtprovoking


    Have you listened to any of Stephen Fry’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Just as excellent as every else he has done. (yes I am a Fry fan!)


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    no, this is a treat to dip into


    Any additional comments?

    This was a lovely listen, perfect for a cool winter's night to cuddle up and listen to the mesmerising voice of Stephen Fry. The imagery is beautiful and there is always a sting to make you think. It is like having a favourite uncle read to you.
