Perfect!
This is not usually my favourite Hardy and it is ages since I read it but hearing Robert Hardy read not only ‘woke up’ the whole book to me but reminded me how funny it was. I shall remember Fancy being likened to a flower amongst the vegetables of the other young girls and am in pursuit of my copy of the story to see if I heard correctly and Hardy really used wombling as a verb, all those years ago…..

Poor reading
Robert hardy had no feeling for the rhythm of the words and read far too quickly as though in a rush. His Dorset accents were terrible and very shrill. Hard to listen to at times .

Fantastic reading from Robert Hardy
I loved the characters and way of life depicted. Left me wanting to follow the new couples story.

A novel overdramatised
This wonderful story,so full of warmth and humour, was disappointingly read at galloping speed

Outstanding reading of a wonderful 19th century novel
Robert Hardy’s amazing accents, timing and inflections which bring this novel outstandingly to life. A gripping rendition which keeps the reader spellbound.

Loved it
It took a while to get into the narrator’s way of speaking particularly the country accents but I loved the story. Found it funny so unlike Hardy’s other stories I’ve listened to.

Brought the story to life
Robert Hardy was a brilliant narrator. The characters became people you knew and we loved it from start to finish.

Classic tale of country folk in a simpler time
I do love this book, I’d not read for years but when I noticed it available I had to re-read it it’s beautiful.
