Synopsis

The Chronicle - BOOK TWO (April to June)
Are you ready for an unforgettable adventure into the past? Then climb aboard and join Oscar Wilde in America amused at the sight of local gun slingers looting the house where outlaw Jesse James had been killed a few days earlier. Meet John Betjeman as he implores the BBC to engage the impoverished Dylan Thomas while  Jane Austen demands the return of her unpublished novel. Austen Chamberlain rages at Hitler for sending a wreath emblazoned with the Swastika to be placed at the foot of the Cenotaph. And did you know that the first F.A. Cup Final took place at the Oval in 1882? You'll also encounter Alan Bennett, H.Rider Haggard, Henry VIII and many more and we’ll all join J. Bruce Ismay as he climbs aboard the last lifeboat to leave the Titanic. “It’s WONDERFUL.  In fact, I would describe it as one of the all-time audio greats... an unmissable five-star production.”  (The Guardian)“I recommend the reader to hunt down and buy this series wherever it may be found.”  (The Spectator)“The whole endeavour is a beguiling jigsaw.”  (Sunday Times)
Dramatised and performed by a distinguished cast of over 30 actors, including Charles Dance, Harriet Walter, David Suchet, Timothy West, James Bolam, Maureen Lipman, Robert Powell, Jenny Agutter, Joss Ackland, Eleanor Bron, John Sessions, Imogen Stubbs.
Also available as part of the CHRONICLE BOX SET, over 11 hours of audio bliss.
