A JOURNEY THROUGH FRANCE In the Company of Dickens, Thackeray, Twain, and Other Travellers

Listeners explore France through the eyes of travelers from years past with this compilation of works by various writers, including Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, and Mark Twain. The majority are from British writers and are, accordingly, read by narrators with British accents. The few American pieces are read with American accents. Light background sounds of Gallic accordion music, clinking café dishes, and similar atmospheric effects create transitions between tracks. This listener would have liked to hear the name of the work and the author at the beginning of each track. S.E.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2011]
