I love Mr Barnes reading voice! He sounds like a professional. Hope to hear more of him.

What a joy these are!

Thanks, wonderful LibriVox, for another absorbing read. The readers easily put their hearts into it. Please be assured it is appreciated! These are to come back to again and again, like my favorite Twain essays.

Mostly very good readings, not Dickens’ best
