About this listen
Who says that you can't have it all? Adventure, romance, science fiction, fantasy, horror, and fine literature? Infinite variety - that is what you find here. Classic literature has never been presented so approachably. You will savor the chills from Edgar Allan Poe, then smilingly shake your head as a man dupes an entire town.
You will hear how Sherlock Holmes solves a case for Bohemian nobility, then marvel as a man destroys his life over a piece of string. Whether it be witchdoctors battling each other with lightning, a mad tea party, or a country composed of blind people, each title is guaranteed to bring you closer to the great minds who shaped the world around us with their glorious words.
Each tale is complete and unabridged. Running time is over 39 hours!

The holidays are upon us, and this year Audible is very happy to present to our members one of Charles Dickens’ most popular Christmas stories, The Cricket on the Hearth. This holiday classic (original subtitle: “A Fairy Tale of Home”) tells the innocent, picturesque, and charming story of a poor family and their would-be guardian angel; in short, a delightful vision of Victorian Christmas. As always, a great story calls for a great voice, so we’ve brought in legendary actor and record-breaking Audie and Grammy award-winning narrator Jim Dale ( The Night Circus). Happy holidays and happy listening!

Editing problem
During the story "The Cricket on the Hearth," another story comes on at the same time making it impossible to listen to either story. The second story finally stops after a few minutes and the original story is allowed to finish in peace.
Otherwise, not as interesting a collection of stories as volumes 1 and 2, but read by the narrator very enjoyably.

A Mixed Bag
Frankenstein and Diamond as Big as the Ritz were well done, with convincing, non-intrusive narration. The other stories are a real mixed bag of quality both in selection and narration.
