What a delight to discover that Marilyn Lightstone is reading the classics in podcasts! I just finished listening to Jane Eyre. I must have skipped through chapters in high school; much of it was unfamiliar! But Miss Lightstone has the most wonderful voice, and I could picture her as she read it. I was anxious to listen as often and long as I could each day. Fortunately I found this after all episodes were already available. I loved Marilyn Lightstone as Miss Stacy in Anne of Green Gables, and will listen next to the new podcast episodes of it, though I am waiting for several to be available to shorten my wait time between episodes. I have recommended this to my grown daughters; I read Anne of Green Gables to them when they were children, we watched the series on TV and we all loved Miss Stacy. I hope she will read many more classics in future podcasts; I love listening to her. She clearly distinguishes one voice from another and provides just the right amount of drama. What a great choice was made when she was selected to read!
Wonderful reading of A Christmas Carol

I never would’ve gotten through Jane Eyre by reading text on a page although I had always wanted to. This was enjoyable! I listen while sewing and have been so productive since I can’t wait to get back to my book each day. Thank you. From a listener across the St Lawrence.
