Charming

These are obviously historical recordings but that is no cause for complaint. They are clearly and charmingly read with a good diction and interpretation.

A sublime view of nature

This is a lovely collection of some of Wordsworth's best known poems. The narration is very good and does justice to the beauty of the words. My only complaint is that no titles are given, which sometimes made it hard to distinguish a new poem from a pause for breath.
