The stories included herein are of course all classics of the genre. I was actually surprised to find Lord Byron's notoriously unfinished "Fragment of a Novel" as the opening piece. Simon Vance has a great voice, very steady and clear, however I often find I can't listen to this work while doing other things. Vance's reading is very dry and his characterisation isn't very engaging. It's a bit like a text book and I had to rewind a few times.

Good stories, dry reading.
