fantastic stories wonderfully read

m r james is one of my favourite authors and david collings is one of my favourite narrators - he manages to capture the essence of m r james telling these stories in his cambridge rooms beautifully. i listen to these audiobooks again and again and never get tired of them. it's just a shame that you can't buy these as one audiobook.
