Items related to The Wordsworth Collection of Classic Short Stories
POIGNANT, WRY, CHILLING, CHALLENGING, amusing, thought-provoking and always intriguing, these accomplished tales from the pens of great writers are object-lessons in the art of creating a literary masterpiece on a small canvas. From the straightforwardly anecdotal to the more analytical of human behaviour, all are guaranteed to capture the imagination, stir the emotions, linger in the memory and whet the reader's appetite for more. In this book, Wordsworth Editions presents the modern reader with a rich variety of short stories by a host of towering literary figures ranging from Arnold Bennett to Virginia Woolf. This disparate and distinguished company of writers has rarely - if ever - met within the pages of one volume: the result is a positive feast.

About the Author:
NARRATOR CHARLTON GRIFFIN is one of the great readers of our time. His classical theatre training combined with his wonderful, incisive interpretations of great literature make him a unique talent. Mr.Griffin's vocal performance is vibrant, soothing, compelling, and hypnotic. He is the recipient of the Audie Award for Classic Fiction.
From AudioFile:
Ten works by nine authors make up this enjoyable collection. The highlight is the short novel by Seamus O'Kelly, "The Weaver's Grave." As with the other story collections by Audio Connoisseur, the dignified, actorish readings by Charlton Griffin are enhanced by sound effects and music layered in subtly and effectively. A solo violin adds weight and poignancy to the setting for the comic clash between the two old men in the O'Kelly selection. The combination of reader, sound effects, and music makes for a classy production and another strong addition to the Audio Connoisseur catalog.
