Tales of Men and Ghosts
By Edith Wharton
Narrated by John Burlinson, Sara Sheckells, Leanne Yau and Aisling Whitfield Gray
This collection of 10 classic tales is very representative of Wharton’s approach to story-telling – in the narrative, the venue becomes a character almost as much as do the people. Situations are presented in an elegantly understated way, and the overall effect is disturbing rather than blatantly horrific.
