Barry Pain

Humorous Short Sketches from 1900

Nigel Boydell does a fantastic job narrating these short stories about a middle class couple in England at the turn of the last century. Just a little spoiler, since I imagine most listeners won't get the point of the joke of the fourth tale, "Miss Sakers," the item his wife is embroidering is a sanitary napkin.
