A collection of BBC radio full-cast dramatisations 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. 

Mansfield Park: on a quest to find a position in society, Fanny Price goes to live with her rich aunt and uncle. 

Northanger Abbey: young, naïve Catherine Morland receives an invitation to stay at the isolated Gothic mansion Northanger Abbey. 

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. 

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 neighbourhood, her hopes are raised.... 

Emma: Emma Woodhouse declares she will never marry, but she is determined to find a match for her friend, Harriet. 

Persuasion: eight years ago, Anne Elliot rejected a marriage proposal from a handsome but poor naval officer. 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 humour, romance, love lost and love regained. Duration: approx. 14 hours 30 mins.

This collection brought me so much joy. No matter whatever was going on in my life, I would feel happy and relaxed as soon as I would start listening to this book. Highly recommended.

Loved it!

These adaptation are good but seems like the versions included here are not the ones reflected in the thumbnail; specifically, David Tennant and Benedict Cumberbatch do not feature on the cast for any of these plays at all. If you're looking for those specific performers, you will be disappointed. If you're looking only to enjoy Jane Austen in radio-drama form however, this is a good title.

Nice adaptations but different cast advertised

Jane is excellent. Narration perhaps good. Not audible, lowest sound, not even on speaker.

Could not hear

the dialogues gave away a lot of plot points that were almost wrong at times. For instance, in pride and prejudice, colonel Fitzwilliam gave away who it was that Darcy influenced away from marriage while in the book, Elizabeth's aunt said Darcy was engaged to Anne de bourg which is something Wickham tells Elizabeth, not her aunt. there are other such inconsistencies in the rest of the chapters. I guess its due to the dialogues instead of simply re-reading the book, but these things are incorrect which bugs me😂

okayish
