Great selection of short stories

Geraint Wyn Davis did an excellent job in narration. Multi voices, dramatic effects. The stories were captivating.

Not for me

Great storytelling but the stories are not for me. I guess it’s a question of taste

Great narration; inconsistent stories.

Some of these classics are so dusty and dull, but Geraint Wyn Davies is an outstanding narrator!
