(P)1983 by Recorded Books, Inc. Editorial Reviews: Veddy British narrator Alexander Spencer expertly reproduces the deliberate pace of the wise and wonderful Saki. His enunciation is spot-on, and he is most effective when letting Sakis gorgeously turned words and phrases sink into the listeners consciousness. Spencer draws on his vast experience behind the microphone and transmits his joy in rendering these gems through his finely tuned vocal instrument. Theres no question that he is enjoying himself, and listeners are sure to relish this collection as much as their guide does. Critic Reviews: "There is no greater compliment to be paid the right kind of friend than to hand him Saki, without comment....Delicate, airy, lucid, precise, with the inconspicuous agility of perfect style, he can pass into the uncanny, the tragic, into mocking fairy-tales grimmer than Grimm." (Christopher Morley)
