About this listen
Captivating radio dramatisations of seven of Charles Dickens' most famous novels.
Charles Dickens is one of the most renowned authors of all time, and this first digital volume of the dramatised canon of his work includes seven of his most popular novels.
This collection includes the episodic adventure Nicholas Nickleby, comic tale The Pickwick Papers, poignant melodrama The Old Curiosity Shop and the much-loved Oliver Twist. Plus, there's the gripping historical novel Barnaby Rudge, picaresque comedy Martin Chuzzlewit and bittersweet tale of family relationships Dombey and Son.
With their compelling plots, larger-than-life characters and vivid descriptions of Victorian life, Dickens' stories have captivated generations. These radio adaptations bring out all the hope and happiness, pathos and tragedy, satire and social realism of his seven classic masterpieces.
Among the star cast are Anna Massey, Alex Jennings, Phil Daniels, Julia McKenzie, Tim McInnerny and Robert Glenister.

Excellent storytelling of Dickens classics.
I really enjoyed this version of some of Dickens classics. The voices of all the characters were excellent. The hard life of the times was brilliantly captured.

Dreams, Drama, Depression, Despair - Dickens
A brilliant series of dramatisations directed and produced to the highest standards.
First rate acting and, of course, first rate writing.

Wonderful.
Wonderful audiobook. Brings Dickens to life. However 100 chapters no index, very poor editing by audible. Please correct this as it is frustrating.

Wonderful!
Now in my 40’s I decided to give Dickens the chance he should have had during my school years. Utterly absorbing. The dramatisation’s have brought these classic stories to life and I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to both this and his later works.
