    I so hope you will narrate the entire Whimsey series. Dorothy L Sayers had such a clear way of describing people and how they behave in different situations. Reading her books as a child inspired me to read a great deal of other writers too.

    The pairing of Erik Satie and Poe is perfect! Although Gymnopedie will always remind me of The fire within, I love this! Thank you so much for sharing.

    Love your narration, but slowed it down to .75, alittle too slow but I don’t miss any ideas that way. I think when this was written, people did speak more quickly than now

    Oh my goodness! It’s quite difficult for the Australian ear to adjust to those beautiful vowels. I was hoping for something to bore me to sleep,but this requires an alertness l was not prepared for. Definitely daytime listening.

    Funny how awfully affected this accent sounds. This is Chumley Warner speak. Pre WWll. Which, of course, is when the stories are set. When there were servants even in quite modest homes. And char women and gardeners were all stupid, gossips, and possibly dishonest. What the hoi poloi really thought as they touched the forelock to the Wimseys of this world, even affable types like our hero, is best left to imagination.

    21:14 I admire how Toad’s curiosity with the vehicle led to his fulfillment of something that he enjoys. A life lesson there maybe.

      I'm sorry - running into copyright issues at the minute, and am trying not to lose the channel, so to be on the safe side I've had to get rid of lots of my post-1920s published content. Believe me, it makes me sad too.

    Funny how Shakespeare wrote so much yet was totally illiterate? His signature was X afterall. And was NEVER outside England yet wrote about Venice so accurately. Tis a true mystery, or do historians plus, really know the truth? Regardless, great stuff thatll live on forever!
