I have no self-control: it is mine. :) I can tell you already that it does not disappoint. The man has such a wonderful reading voice!

Thanks for the audio link! I really like that short story by Wells - I look forward to hearing it read out loud when I get home tonight and seeing if it has the same (or more) impact hearing it (instead of reading.)

Oh, thank you so much! That makes my day. :) I was thrilled when I saw Sir Derek was reading Frankenstein. A brilliant reader for a brilliant book! Of course, now they need to do Dracula, and Phantom of the Opera... *wink*
