if you like his work you should love this
it's just classic and read by him making it even better. I adore the central character, the lady in the van. she is wonderfully portrayed and their relationship, how she affects him over time is lovely

Wonderful
I have always loved Lady in the Van, first as a book, then as audio tapes.
The story itself is wonderful, how many people would have invited this eccentric lady to move her van into their property?
The fact that Alan Bennett himself narrates it adds to the enjoyment. His voice has a rhythm, a cadence of its own and draws one into the life of Mrs Sheppard and his own better than a performance by actors.
I highly recommend this Audible book to anyone who loves Bennett's writings -including his diaries. Whether you have read or heard it before or not, it is such treat. These glimpses of the Lady in the Van's life make one wish we had known her.

Charming
The charm of a by-gone age, and the innate caring of the author, turn this account of an eccentric, selfish, unlovely person into something warm and eminently readable.

A lovely book
I have always enjoyed the Lady in the Van film, and it was lovely to hear the story told in the voice of Alan Bennett. What a complex woman Miss Shepherd must have been; a really enjoyable story

Love Alan Bennett
Where does Lady in the Van rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's a brilliant well narrated story.

The narration.
What does Alan Bennett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I love Alan Bennetts voice so I'm biased. I could listen to him all the time.

Made me laugh and feel quite sorry for Miss Shepherd.
