Publisher's summary

The beautiful young Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by society artist Basil Hallward. Admired by all, the dazzling, wealthy, handsome young man has everything anyone could wish for, or so it appears. Oscar Wilde's novel is a masterly study of moral corruption, a tour-de-force of suspense and surprise.

Great Narrator

Not sure if this is the full book. I had seen some versions that ran for 8 hours yet this one was around three. I may be mistaken though. Was a great listen nonetheless. Highly recommend.

Feral Welshman Performs Wilde

Michael Sheen could read the phone book and it would sound like poetry. This cautionary tale about vanity is poetic enough, but the narrator elevates it to something even greater.

Delectable

Michael Sheen gives this (abridged) story a downright sultry treatment, honeyed and decadent as the tale itself.

A classic with a fantastic narrator

A delightful earful of classical literature narrated by Michael Sheen. Well worth the listen for any fans of either the author or narrator.
