great stories and some excellent readers


(5 stars)

The stories are well written in beautiful English that you don’t hear any more. Several of the readers were superb. Listening to the questions after each story gives you reason to think back on what you heard and ponder the answers.

I like the stories, not always crazy about the breakdown of these after each story but sometimes it makes you think about it more.
