About this listen

BBC Audio presents Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen's acclaimed comedy of manners. Containing a truly memorable cast of characters, including the snobbish Mrs Ferrers, selfish John Dashwood and his awful, grasping wife.

Sisters Marianne and Elinor approach romance differently. Marianne impulsively jumps into love with the charming John Willoughby, subjecting her to ridicule and gossip. Elinor, fearful of social ridicule, appears prudent. Can each sister find happiness in a society driven by status?

Narrated by Annette Crosbie.

This is not dramatised but one of the excellent abridgments caried out under the BBC for 'Womans Hour' daily radio program.
Well read and sensibly shortened. I enjoyed it.

too much missing from the book ( this is all I want to say, but you won't let me stop at the 1st sentence!)

Not everything labelled 'BBC' is a guarantee of quality it seems. I'm afraid I was taken in by the word 'dramatised' - it is anything BUT! Miss Austen's delightful characters are reduced to colourless images, hardly distinguishable one from the other, in Annette Crosbie's lacklustre narration. After 4 attempts I noted I had dozed off at exactly the same point each time! Soporific, but hardly what I look for in a good read, or rather, listen!

Misleading description!
