Critic reviews
"Human kindness is wonderfully to the fore in this little classic of autobiography, and the combined readings of Juliet Stevenson and John Nettles characterise the writers exquisitely." ( The Times)
"One of the subtlest, sharpest, most moving relationships ever formed between pen pals. I can't imagine it without Stevenson and Nettles. Her warmth, his reticence, their shared love of old books - onionskin pages, leather-bound and gold-embossed, with flyleaf dedications circa 1847 and pencilled notes in the margin - made me weep."( The Guardian)

Perfection - the narration is sublime
Beautifully performed.
This is a delight from start to finish. Not a long listen at 2 hours and 11 minutes, but one that I will return to time and again!

Truly lovely
in the 1960s I worked in Tavistock Square and my bus home took me past 84 Charing X Road, although I regret never stopping to go in. The whole dialogue so eloquently and well read was a delight from beg to end and I have just bought the DVD too so I can continue to wallow. This book will be listened to again and again. Thank you Juliet and John for your excellent portrayals.

Just beautiful and uplifting.
A story of enduring correspondence between the owner and staff of a second-hand bookshop and an eccentric American author, post second World War. Just a beautiful illustration of the enduring kindness and dedication of ordinary people. What a heart-warming account beautifully narrated. No wonder this book has been so popular over the years.

Beautiful
To be honest I only purchased this to listen to the wonderful voices of the narrators , but I found myself immersed in these letters , so much so , that I was shocked when it ended. I wish we all wrote letters still.

A great listen
I read this book when it was first published and loved it. I love it all over again. Don’t worry about spending a credit on such a short book. Just buy it and enjoy.
P.S. excellent narrators

A charming book
Although I had heard of 84 Charing Cross Road I didn't listen to it until a friend mentioned it in our regular correspondence (how apt!) and I decided I'd see what she was talking about! I have a love of books of letters and this one didn't disappoint at all, Juliet Stevenson and John Nettles read extremely well, their characterisations was perfect. It is a charming story of a (sadly) bygone age and very enjoyable. I really enjoyed the producer chatting with the readers about the book at the end as well. Highly recommended!

Just wonderful!
This has always been one of my favourite books, and the reading is excellent. John Nettles is perfect casting for Frank and Juliet Stevenson does a marvelous job as Helene. It's short, but perfect and I smiled to myself the entire time. Well worth an audible credit!!!
