Reviews
ENJOYABLE
Avid Listener
As one reviewer commented, it is a bit dated, BUT what a pleasure to listen to writers who were masters of the language and well able to express themselves as meticulous observers of human behavior. I would highly recommend this to younger readers so that they can observe how well prepared were the authors of former days.
