The man who liked Dickens

Very interesting story and very well read by Leonard Nimoy..
Long enough to tell an involved plot, but brief enough to keep your interest all the way through to the end.. I enjoyed it very much.

A Haunting Tale

I really like this story and the way that Leonard Nimoy narrated it. Set in the wilds of South America during colonial times, it hauntingly captures the loneliness and isolation which western settlers must have felt. Very spooky too, with a surprise ending.

Excellent Audio Work

Where does Selected Shorts: The Man Who Liked Dickens rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is better than most. Good plot, Good narration.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mr. McMaster is a very clever gentleman. He manipulates things to get Dickens read.

Which scene was your favorite?

The ending, but I don't want to give it away.

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

Yes. The end was a little bit predictable, but it was well written.

Any additional comments?

Leonard Nimoy is an excellent narrator and does an excellent job in reading a story like he did all his professional work. RIP Mr. Nimoy,

edgy and well told

an excellent narration of a striking story about life beyond civilisation. as ever Waugh's humour is cut with a bittersweet edge.

a handful of dust by the same author would be a good read to follow.
