Of All Things


(5 stars)

Beautifully read by both readers, wonderful writing if you appreciate the po-faced ironies and wit, intelligent and understated gentle humour.

I first listened to these readings six years ago and they were perfect then and they are perfect now. They only add to the beauty and sweetness of Benchley.
