Audiobooks narrated by Miriam Margolyes
Her Christmas Carol is the pick on this site's comparison, and her Alice is one of the readings on that page; both are complete. Dickens is the real seam — Bleak House and A Tale of Two Cities entire, plus a full-cast David Copperfield she is part of. Her E. F. Benson Lucia novels are abridged BBC readings, so check the type column before spending a credit.

Watch the type column. 2 of these are abridged — a shortened text, not the whole book, for the same credit. Why that keeps happening →
