Title: Oliver Twist

Author: Charles Dickens

Narrator: Peter Batchelor

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-22-13

Publisher: Trout Lake Media

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 438 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Born to an unmarried woman who dies after giving birth, orphan Oliver Twist seems destined to slog through a dismal life in the workhouse. A rebellious cry for more gets Oliver banished, and ultimately lands him on the dismal streets of London. The young outcast finds refuge with Fagin and his band of thieves before fate intervenes and puts Oliver in the hands of a kindly benefactor. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child laborer contributed to the story's development. Oliver Twist has been the subject of countless film and television adaptations.

Title: Villette

Author: Charlotte Brontë

Narrator: Nadia May

Format: Unabridged

Length: 20 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-25-06

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 69 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Left by harrowing circumstances to fend for herself in the great capital of a foreign country, Lucy Snowe, the narrator and heroine of Villette, achieves by degrees her independence from both outer necessity and inward grief. Lucy flees from an unhappy past in England to begin a new life as a teacher at a French boarding school in the cosmopolitan capital of Villette. But her struggle for independence is soon overshadowed by her friendship with a worldly English doctor and her feelings for an autocratic schoolmaster. Brontë's strikingly modern heroine must decide if there is any man in her society with whom she can live and still be free.

Critic Reviews:

"May convincingly portrays the many moods and complex character of Charlotte Brontë's heroine....Her many voices, with subtle timing, sweep us at a quick clip through a narrative of psychological insight and vividly rendered places, people, and landscapes." (AudioFile)

"Villette! Villette! Have you read it? It is a still more wonderful book than Jane Eyre. There is something almost preternatural in its power." (George Eliot)

"Brontë's finest novel." (Virginia Woolf)

Title: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Author: Lewis Carroll

Narrator: Scarlett Johansson

Language: English

Release date: 02-23-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1840 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson (Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earring) brings a palpable sense of joy and exuberance to her performance of Lewis Carroll's enduring classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. From the White Rabbit and Mad Hatter to the Cheshire Cat and Queen of Hearts, she imbues each madcap character with a distinct voice and personality that will leave a lasting impression long after the adventure is over.

One hundred and fifty years after its original publication, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland remains one of the most widely read, deconstructed, referenced, and reinterpreted works of Western fiction. It tells the story of the young and imaginative Alice, who grows weary of her storybook, one "without pictures or conversations", and follows a hasty hare underground - to come face to face with a host of strange and fantastic characters.

Title: Great Expectations

Author: Charles Dickens

Narrator: Simon Prebble

Format: Unabridged

Length: 18 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-11

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2328 votes

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

One of the most revered works in English literature, Great Expectations traces the coming of age of a young orphan, Pip, from a boy of shallow aspirations into a man of maturity. From the chilling opening confrontation with an escaped convict to the grand but eerily disheveled estate of bitter old Miss Havisham, all is not what it seems in Dickens dark tale of false illusions and thwarted desire.

Raised by a humble blacksmith, Pip is recruited by the wealthy Miss Havisham to be a companion to her ward, the cold but beautiful Estella. There, Pip learns to despise his rough origins as Estella torments him about his low prospects. When Pip is informed that an unknown benefactor expects to make him his heir, he sets off to London to realize his great expectations. But true gentleman stature, he will find, is a matter of character, not fortune.

Critic Reviews:

Observe how finely the narrative is kept in one key. It begins with a mournful impressionthe foggy marshes spreading drearily by the seaward Thamesand throughout recurs this effect of cold and damp and dreariness; in that kind Dickens never did anything so goodNo story in the first person was ever better told. (George Gissing, English novelist)

Title: The Pilgrims

Author: Hannah More

Narrator: Glenn Hascall

Format: Unabridged

Length: 23 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-18-14

Publisher: Spoken Realms

Genres: Classics, British Literature

Publisher's Summary:

Welcome to a journey. Parts may seem familiar, but you are simply along as one who joins in the observations of the narrator. Author Hannah More was well known as a poet, playwright, and philanthropist. This writing is a rare allegory that seeks to help the hearer understand the need for priorities. This story may remind those who listen of the work of John Bunyan. Since the work was likely written in the 1700s, Bunyan's work likely was a strong influence in the style of this memorable story.
