The Town Traveller


Read by Arnold

(4 stars; 25 reviews)

The town traveller is himself a British salesman, living in a lower class part of London in the Victorian era. The story depicts his interactions with his neighbors, and thus brings us images and vocabulary of personal exchanges, street scenes and practices of that time and class. The story is generally lighthearted and the action fast paced, although the characters are not at all intricate. (Arnold Banner) (7 hr 11 min)

Reviews

could have been fantastic


(1.5 stars)

absolutely ruined this book, why the heck would you have someone with an extremely American accent read it? Even as a narrator it's ruined it, but what made it worse was the street scenes as if in 1700 London but all I hear is a terrible American voice.

Excellent reader. A light listen with twists
