Critic reviews

"The very best in its genre." (School Library Journal)

What a treat

I love forever Knight for years. with this Mr daves has out himself! great addition to my collection!

Variety of suspense from excellent authors

Each short story stands on its own as representative of writing of the period. Great find in the Plus Catalog, highly recommend for those who enjoy classic writing.

great stories and narration

Great stories and narration but read with no pause between, as if studio time was at a premium. Very odd, and almost comical. Overall I very much enjoyed this collection.

Minor Criticism - Editing

Wonderful classic stories.
Artful narration.

My only criticism is the editing. I wish there had been a better transition between stories. The existing transition is so abrupt; there is nearly no gap between one story ending and the next beginning. I listen to many audio anthologies and the transition between the selections in the anthology is normally handled much more smoothly.

Great classics narrated by superb narrator

Classics I loved by a most extraordinarily talented narrator/voice actor, Geraint Wyn Davies. Couldn't ask for more. I will definitely listen again and again.
