Arnold Bennett is one of the finest storytellers ever. He could describe someone reading an electric meter and make it enjoyable. Then, Andy Minter would bring it to life with his inimitable flair. How we are going to miss Andy.

Thoroughly enjoying all the “five town” stories AND the reader, Andy Minter. His accent and the way his voice changes for the different characters along with his timing are superb! I wish he would read more Arnold Bennett stories!
Don't miss!

This set of stories is rich in history and characters; a do-not-miss for anyone who loves a good story, and especially if you are interested in this period on British history.
A fun collection of small town humor

I truly believe between the authors great descriptive writing style and the narrators voice they could make a trip to the refrigerator an interesting tale.
Five stars.
