The Romance of the Forest
Ann Radcliffe
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
A Gothic novel famously mentioned by Jane Austen in "Northanger Abbey" as an inspiration for the romantic ideals and supernatural fears of Catherine. Ann Radcliffe has been called the "Great Enchantress" of her age and this is one of her finest novels. Supernatural eerie thrills, midnight explorations of draughty corridors and mysterious partly burned notes all play their parts. There are noblemen in disguise, a duel, a trial, a dangerous illness, a deathbed confession and, of course, a dark and handsome hero with a fatal secret! - Summary by Beth Thomas
This project was proof-listened by Betty M. and Mary in Arkansas. (13 hr 52 min)

An entertaining story

I enjoyed this a lot. Not as creepy as I was expecting. I found the verses pleasant also. The readers all did a fine job, thank you. When certain hidden info was being revealed later on, I was a little confused and will have to go back to clear it up, but it was probably because I was distracted that I misunderstood the info revealed.
Ok!
