Hi there, just a comment… It would be fantastic if you could change the sample to a small piece of the play instead of the introduction. It would give listeners a better idea of what they are buying.
Press Minion
Thanks! We’ll see what we can do about that.
Anne Johnson
is there a way to hear a sample of the reading? the sample given is an introduction.
Press Minion
Thanks for the suggestion! We have now changed the sample. If you listen to it now, it’s a small portion from Jim Weiss’s retelling of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

how long are the stories in this audio book?
Press Minion
“A midsummer night’s dream” is about 32 minutes, and “the taming of the shrew” is about 31 minutes.
