Product Description
This three CD compilation forms part of the British Library's series of documentary recordings by English-Language authors and playwrights. Around 30 writers will be represented, talking about their lives and work. The recordings derive primarily from BBC broadcasts, the earliest of them dating from the 1930s, and include historic recordings of the first generation of writers whose voices survive through to senior figures of the present day. Among the writers included will be Rudyard Kipling, Virginia Woolf, Ian Fleming and Harold Pinter. The majority of the recordings have not been published before. A three CD compilation devoted to American writers, containing never-released audio footage is in production and will accompany this set.

| Customer Reviews:
Is This All They Have to Say? January 3, 2009
Would it have been too much trouble to list the authors included in THIS three-cd set since a six cd set was reviewed in today's Wall Street Journal? To buy this item is to risk having to face the choice of foregoing half the collection or duplicating it. See WSJ.com for the review to which I refer by Brian Carney. The Somerset Maugham track sounds irresistible.
And ignore my rating since Amazon will not permit me to post without declaring one. Sfacim!
Forgive me if this is less of a review and more of a warning to vigilance about what you would be buying with your attenuated bankroll.
