Wonderful collection of short stories

This collection offers short and long stories from well known writers - Twain, Dickens, Poe - and less well known, but deserving authors. My only criticism is that the chapters are not titled, but simply numbered making it difficult to revisit a particular story at a later date.

The narration by B. J. Harrison is excellent.
