HIGHLY abridged, but it's Jeremy Northam!!!

I loved Mr. Northam in the movie. It was a treat to listen to his narration. It's sooooooo abridged as to be almost painful - it's almost an abridgment of the movie! - but I have no regrets about the purchase.

Jeremy Northam, incredible narrator

While I have previously read Emma, Jeremy Northam's narration made revisiting this an easy decision. Delightful Austen story, outstanding delivery.

Mr. Knightley reads to us…

In my Austenian fantasies, I prefer Mr. Knightley to Mr. Darcy, and the twinkle in Jeremy Northam’s eye certainly reinforced that notion. The twinkle is almost visible as he reads this abridged version, and my only complaint is that it isn’t the unabridged version.

Wish it were unabridged!

This is a wonderful recording of a beloved novel, read by the 1996 Mr. Knightley himself. I only wish it were an unabridged version, as so much had to be left out. Still an enjoyable listen, wee worth the Audible credit.

Short but Jeremy Northam makes it worth it

I wouldn’t listen to an abridged version unless it was read by someone with a voice I adore listening to.
