This excellent audio collection consists of 22 classic short stories, read (or actually, “performed”) by professional actors and actresses. Authors represented include such luminaries as Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, de Maupassant, AC Doyle, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Saki, Oscar Wilde, Kipling, and John Buchan. The collection includes such frightening stories as “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Black Cat”, “Mad,” and “The Monkeys Paw”, as well as highly amusing tales like Saki’s “Reginald on House Parties” and W.W. Jacobs’ “For Better or Worse.” Less well-known (but highly worthwhile) stories include Buchan’s “Ship to Tarshish” and Conan Doyle’s “B 24.” Two of Kipling’s tales are among the better contributions (to my surprise, since his works that I’ve sampled before did not appeal to me). This collection ranks as one of the best short story audio collections that I’ve heard. Below are my rankings of each of the 22, on a scale of 1 to 5. 4* Reginald on House Parties - Saki 1* The Sphinx without a Secret - Oscar Wilde 2.5* Tobermory - Saki 1.5* On Being Idle - Jerome K Jerome 4.5* For Better or Worse - WW Jacobs 3* The Model Millionaire - Oscar Wilde 2.5* The Garden of Truth - E.
