The Chronicles of Clovis

Having introduced my son to the wondrous literary world of Saki (H. H. Munro) as a preschooler as bedtime stories, I may have inadvertently ruined his entire school career. I mean here are stories expertly written with sarcasm, wit, wisdom and just a touch of the "weird", the perfect world for an imaginative young mind; then I sent him off to public school where the height of storytelling is pseudo moralism disguised as literature and are boring boring boring. Poor kid never stood a chance! He still loves these stories and so does my entire family! Thank you for your amazing narration Mr. Crowest. We are forever grateful!

I adore this podcast! The writing of Saki in my ears read by the pitch perfect performance of Richard Corwest.....wonderful!

Richard Corwest's most excellent and thoroughly spot on readings of the greatest short story writer of all time's most delicious tales simply can't disappoint. Whether you are a life long Sakian like me or new to HH Munro's work you will be delighted. Smirks, Laughs and arched eyebrows abound for all and sundry. In the words of Depeche Mode, I just can't get enough, so More Please Mr. Crowest! :)

If you're a fan of dry humor and early literary styles, you'll love this podcast! I heartily enjoy every one of these releases. I've looked for other Saki podcasts, but Richard Crowest has spoiled it for me...he does such an excellent job of reading Saki with just the right amount of wry seriousness and with perfect cadence, so that none of the other Saki podcasts are in the same league! You'll be glad you downloaded this one...
