A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

On the surface, the Victorian age is one of propriety, industry, prudishness and piety. But scratch the surface and you’ll find scandal, sadism, sex, madness, malice and murder. Presented by Stephen Fry, this series delves deep into a period of time we think we know, to discover an altogether darker reality. The stories we’re told offer a different perspective on an era which underwent massive social change. As education, trade, technology and culture blossomed, why was there an undercurrent of the ‘forbidden’ festering beneath Victorian society?

Since it was first published more than 25 years ago, Robert Fitzgerald's prizewinning translation of Homer's battle epic has become a classic in its own right: a standard against which all other versions of The Iliad are compared. Fitzgerald's work is accessible, ironic, faithful, written in a swift vernacular blank verse that "makes Homer live as never before" ( Library Journal).

'Greatest' is the word...
Hall of Fame, no doubt. I'm an avid reader (60yrs old w/3k+ books behind me) so here in my going-on 'golden years' I've begun adding audio books to my daily commute. Should have done it LONG ago. Duh. But the pleasure is greater, I suppose, and this title in particular took me for a ride in the WayBack machine. Yes, I DO remember the '60s; when sci-fi made you think. Hall of Fame, Vol. 2-A has several of the best titles from that or any era. And FYI? If you're familiar with the movie 'Idiocracy' (loved it, HIGHLY recommend it) the plot was clearly stolen from Cyril M. Kornbluth's 'The Marching Morons'. I wouldn't bother mentioning this, but the movie credits gave no credit... and that ain't right. Get this audiobook (and the others in the series). Listen... and learn.

Done of the best fiction. Narration is... Mostly fine
The stories are among the best there are. No debating they, if you're a sci fi fan. The narration is usually fine, but some stories have odd moments.
Like when the character is East Asian... The worst example of this is in the story "Nerves", where the exposition describes a Japanese man as having almost no accent, then when the man speaks it's on the worst caricature of a Chinese accent.
There are also a couple moments when narrators mispronounce words.
But aside from those two weird problems, it's really a good listen!

Excellent!
This has some great stories. I had read most of them before, but it had been some time since I had read most of them. They are superb examples of early Sci-Fi.
The last story is, in my opinion, the best story to show that any extreme is bad.
I think most of the concepts in these stories are beyond children, but I recommend this book for all adults. It might even make you stop and think.

Very interesting listen
Most of the stories in here we're good stories but they weren't quite what I was expecting, other than The Time Machine. I had to keep reminding myself that these stories were written at different times in the past and what we consider science fiction now isn't the same as what they thought of then.

Not my style of sci-fi
Too many long drawn-out stories that did not capture my interest. Really hard to believe that this was voted on by the keepers of the sci-fi spirit. performances are great. But the stories just didn't work for me except for perhaps one.

Onegreatbiglonguninterruptedaudiofilewithnomarkers
I ordered this and its previous volume on the presumption that Audible had bothered themselves to format it in some way. They haven't. As a result you've no idea what's on the file. it's a total of 43 hours of continuous speech, and labled "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2" etc.
You've not a clue what's what's playing and what might be next, and they haven't even included text to help you sort it out. As a result, although the content is great, your chances of finding (or even knowing about) a given story are negligible
Can't recommend for any purpose.
