Nicholas Nickleby [sound recording]by Charles Dickens
Read by Anton Lesser
One of Dickens’s earlier novels, dating from 1839, it charts the fortunes of an honourable young man, Nicholas Nickleby, who has set out to make his way in the world.
Dickens presents his remarkably vivid display of Victorian characters and the life they lead, from the generous to the fated to the crushed. Hope springs eternal, however, and righteous persistence brings rewards.
Anton Lesser, the outstanding Dickens interpreter, brings all his narrative expression to bear on this exciting tale.

Two Caravans [sound recording]
Notes
Narrator : Sian Thomas.
Summary
An idyll of the English countryside: a beautiful summer's evening in a Kent field, and around their two caravans a little group of strawberry pickers is getting ready to celebrate a birthday. But who picks our strawberries these days? Ukrainians, Poles and Chinese are among those who lead dangerous lives as they take to the caravan road until each of them peels off to find their destiny. Hilarious, gritty, moving and slapstick by turns. Two Caravans has every bit of the extraordinary wit and heart that made A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian so successful.
