Wessex Tales
Thomas Hardy
Read by Tadhg
Wessex Tales is a collection of six short stories written by Hardy in the 1880’s. If you’ve never read Hardy they’ll serve as a good introduction to his writing. Though not as comprehensive as his major works they do contain all the ingredients that make him instantly recognisable. (Introduction by T. Hynes.) (7 hr 31 min)

Have returned to listen to these wonderful tales several times for the joy of listening to a reader who can do no wrong. Such a lovely accent pace and interpretation. Thank you Tadgh.

I adore Tadgh. When he reads a story, his accent and excellent diction imbue it with deeper character. His voice brings the author's words to life. These stories were varied and all highly interesting.

Love the Thomas Hardy characters especially the good hearted and innocent locals. The stories are beautifully read. There are still more Hardy novels that I would love to hear read by TgHd - Teig Hinds?
Very Enjoyable!

The stories are a wonderful distraction from the delightfully long books that one may listen to on LibriVox. Every story here was very entertaining and impeccably read by Tadhg. Loved it!
Worth a listen

Just makes me glad that we no longer rely on horse and buggy to get around - and that we only use candles if there's a blackout...
