A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatizations of Jane Austen's six major novels Jane Austen is one of the finest writers in the English language, and this volume includes all six of her classic novels. In Mansfield Park, on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle. In Northanger Abbey, young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey. In Sense and Sensibility, forced to leave their family home after their father's death, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood try to forge a new life at Barton Cottage. In Pride and Prejudice, Mrs. Bennet is determined to get her five daughters married well, so when the wealthy Mr. Bingley and his friend Mr. Darcy move into the neighborhood, her hopes are raised. In Emma, Emma Woodhouse declares she will never marry, but she is determined to find a match for her friend Harriet. Finally, in Persuasion, Eight years ago, Anne Elliot rejected a marriage proposal from a handsome but poor naval officer—but now her former love has returned. With an all-star cast including David Tennant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Julia McKenzie, Jenny Agutter, Toby Jones, Eve Best, and Juliet Stevenson, these BBC radio adaptations are full of humor, romance, love lost, and love regained.

Really great dramatization of the six most famous Jane Austen novels (and Emma is in this edition too even though it's not listed on the cover image). Actors were excellent! Keep in mind this is a dramatization, not an unabridged reading. It's entertaining and I definitely enjoyed it. I found it fairly easy to tell the characters apart by their voices, although I must admit by the time I listened to Persuasion I had characters and relationships a little mixed up sometimes!
Northanger Abbey is one of my favorite Jane Austen stories (as well as the only book I have listened to in this collection so far). I have been DROOLING over this collection since it was first announced, and it is FINALLY available in the USA.The difference about this collection is that it has a FULL CAST. That's right, it is radio drama at it's finest. Narrated by Jane Austen it comes to life right before your...um...ears? Since I am familiar with this story it was easier for me to listen to. I was also able to listen while driving without zoning out! The sound effects and casting is superb. LOVE this collection and I have already started Mansfield Park which has David Tennant and Benedict Cumberbatch, be still my nerd girl heart. If you are a fan of Jane Austen and audiobooks, I encourage you to give this a try.
Don't miss this one.
