What improvements have been made for the "Miss Marple's Last Case" edition? There are already major differences in punctuation, word choices, and scene breaks between the original Collins and Dodd Mead editions of this novel. There are further differences between the Dodd Mead editions republished by Random House/Avenel and the Dodd Mead editions republished by Simon & Shuster/Pocket. There are ...             The Merchant of Venice (BBC Radio Collection)16 reviews Jocelyn Pook BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2000 MUSIC FOR YOUR SOUL What a beautiful collection of music from the movie, "The Merchant of Venice". It is the first CD I listen to each time I get into my car. Every track is unbelievably moving, from the Jewish songs to the mid-evil voices and strings. Some are haunting and others, uplifting...always leaves me wanting more of the same.This music is great for meditation or will calm you in rush hour traffic. The ...             The Measly Middle Ages (Horrible Histories)18 reviews Terry Deary BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2003 "Reduced Shakespeare Company" Does History I came across Terry Deary completely by accident ~ in a gift shop in Scotland, shoved amongst other more "scholarly" hardcovers. As my graduate area of study is the Middle Ages, I was intrigued and bought the book on a whim ~ and haven't stopped buying Terry Deary's books since! Are the books chock-full of historical facts guaranteed to allow someone to walk away thinking they know everything ...             The Valley of Fear (BBC Radio Collection)12 reviews Sir Arthur Conan Doyle BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1998 THE VALLEY OF FEAR 'The Valley of Fear'. A real page turner but what makes it most memorable for me is not that Holmes is at his best, but Conan Doyle is. After reading this book I recommend you to read this book because it was a suspense story. The whole story moves around Mcginty who was a big criminal in the valley of vermisa also called the valley of fear. There was only one person who could face to that ...             Right Ho, Jeeves (BBC Audio)20 reviews P.G. Wodehouse BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2006 Very good, sir. It is rare that I derive such pleasure from a book, but Right Ho, Jeeves, gave me a delightful surprise. Not only does Wodehouse make an art of the satirical novel, but in the process wraps the reader up in the witty speech of Bertram Wooster and his strange arrangement of friends, family, and butler. Bertram, or "Bertie," as he is commonly known, stumbles through the entire novel with the idea ...             Himalaya10 reviews BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2004 Beautiful and interesting book about a fantastic trip "Himalaya" is a book written by Michael Palin as an alternative account of a trip that was filmed and first shown as a TV program on BBC TV. (This program has also been shown on many other TV stations, and is now available on DVD.) In addition to the text in the book there are many beautiful pictures by Basil Pao, the stills photographer who accompanied the BBC team on the trip. This was a ...             The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC Radio Collection)11 reviews Douglas Adams BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1993 Mostly Harmless Everybody's in search of something. For some it's meaning, for others it's a place in the universe, and for the rest of us, it's a digital watch. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy really illustrates that unsure feeling that we all have. Arthur Dent was lost enough on Earth, but after it's demolished, he in desperate need of finding a speck of understanding throughout the rest of the Galaxy. ...             The Golf Omnibus (BBC Radio Collection)13 reviews P.G. Wodehouse BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1990 Its a classic The manner in which Wodehouse has developed the characters in the stories is indeed amazing. One hilarius feature I noticed in many of the stories is the attempt made by the victim (listener) to escape from the oldest member's clutches whenever he begins to narrate a story. Wodehouse is at the top of his form in this one. Die hard Wodehouse fans should not die without reading this one.             Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves (BBC Radio Collection)10 reviews P.G. Wodehouse, Richard Usborne BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1992 WODEHOUSE + CECIL = A SPLENDID READING Just as we believe some actors were born to play a certain role or a singer was born to sing a specific song, I'm convinced Jonathan Cecil was born to read P. G. Wodehouse. The British accented Cecil voice delightfully inhabits the personas of Jeeves, Bertie Wooster and sundry other characters with charm, humor, and distinction. My first introduction to the talents of Cecil was with his ...             Busman's Honeymoon (BBC Radio Collection)22 reviews Dorothy L. Sayers, Alistair Beaton BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2002 Mystery story or love story? What I love about this book is the way Dorothy Sayers manages to interweave a complex mystery story with the gentle story of the beginning of a marriage. This book is funny, tender, and occasionally sad. It brings all the threads of the earlier Lord Peter/Harriet Vane books together. This book is my favourite of the Lord Peter books, along with Gaudy Night.             Letter from America (BBC Radio Collection)5 reviews Alistair Cooke BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2005 For 58 years Cooke was unfailingly at the heart of the complex nation. This is a treat. Alistair Cooke's wonderful Letter from America broadcasts were heard world-wide and were an institution for close to 60 years. In that time, Cooke - UK born but for most of his life a resident of New York City - sought through his thoughtful pieces to convey the complexity of life, of society and of politics in the United States. In this collection of essays, organised chronologically, Cooke ...             The Complete "Yes, Minister": Sixteen Original BBC Radio 4 Episodes (BBC Radio Collection)7 reviews BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2002 Absolutely Priceless! It is not uncommon for writers of britcoms to supplement a successful television series with a text-based adaptation, and such is indeed what writers Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay have done with Yes Minister (and its sequel, Yes Prime Minister). It is uncommon, however, to find such a good one. Every bit as erudite and witty as the series upon which it is based, The Complete Yes Minister ...             The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Primary Phase (BBC Radio Collection)5 reviews Douglas Adams BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2001 The Original BBC series. Must have for any Hitch-Hiker Fan This is the original BBC radio series (I know I have an old cassette copy from the early 1908's). The radio series was first, then the book, then the TV series, and now the movie. In my opinion the radio series was the best. It has all of the great lines my friend love to quote. The actors are wonderful. The sound effects make you feel like you are right there with Arthur and Ford exploring the ...             Full Circle: A Pacific Journey With Michael Palin (BBC Radio Collection)8 reviews BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1999 An enlightning tour of the Pacific Rim countries. Michael Palin does it again with Full Circle. Starting in Alaska Michael travels anti-clockwise around the rim of the Pacific Ocean visiting countries as diverse as Russia, Korea, Viet Nam, New Zealand, Colombia and the west coast of North American. He tells of his adventures getting to and exploring some fantastic natural wonders, visiting a Russian gulag with a former inmate, the relief ...             Emma (BBC Classic Collection)5 reviews Jane Austen BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2001 Wonderfully charming! Jane Austen perfects the art of character development in Emma. The long, twisted plot carefully and slowly develops each character using rich detail that makes the characters come alive with personality. Without the rich detail and character development, I do not feel this book would have stood the test of time and become the classic that it is. Emma is a heart-warming book with enough ...             Man and Superman (BBC Radio Collection)6 reviews Bernard Shaw BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1996 Pure Bergsonism George Bernard Shaw was called, with good reason, the "English Nietzsche". Though Nietzsche was an aristocrat and Shaw a socialist, both cherished the dream of the superman and looked forward to the day when he would be realised. Both, however, were characterised by their mordant wit and intellectual cynicism, in which "Man and Superman" abounds. Shaw manages to compress a number of disparate ...             The Animals of Farthing Wood (BBC Young Collection)5 reviews Colin Dann, Sheila Fox, ... BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1994 A Charming tale This is a great book and is the best book I have ever read. The book is about a group of wildlife from Farthing Wood who,s homes are being destroyed. The animals do nothing about it untill the humans filled in the pond. Then they all meet in Badger,s set to discuss the problem together but nobody has any ideas untill Toad (who has been missing for over a year) returns and tells the animals ...             Letters from a Lost Generation: First World War Letters of Vera Brittain and Four Friends (BBC Radio ...5 reviews Vera Brittain BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1999 a moving and mesmerizing book, worth every penny I have been interested in Vera Brittain since her autobiography, Testament of Youth, was featured on Masterpiece Theatre in the 70s. I came across this new book by chance when looking for Testament, which my book group is reading and enjoying this month. This collection of letters not only recaptures Vera, her brother, and three close friends, it adds great dimension to their WWI experience. ...             The Complete "Talking Heads" (BBC Radio Collection)5 reviews Alan Bennett BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1999 These people are everywhere I suppose I am a bit biased because I grew up in the same town as Alan Bennett (Leeds, Yorkshire) but this book is truly remarkable. The characters are a mixture of people we all know. A chip in the sugar is the man who lives down the street, A lady of Letters is always in the post office (usually in front of me !). All these people exist, what Alan Bennett does is drag them out of their ...             Cider with Rosie (BBC Radio Collection)6 reviews Laurie Lee BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 1994 On my Top Ten List. This book was required reading during my childhood and, of course, I couldn't have dragged myself more slowly through it. How wise we become with age. This is an astonishing book. Lee is such a master of description that, after only a few pages, you slowly start to smell the fresh country air and hear the languid sounds of summer as you are inescabably drawn into the world of his childhood - ...              search for books america, animals, brittain, circle, classic, collection, complete, episodes, farthing, friends, generation, himalaya, histories, hitchhiker, honeymoon, horrible, jeeves, journey, letters, merchant, michael, minister, omnibus, original, pacific, primary, sixteen, sleeping, superman, talking books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
