The History of Tom Jones - A Foundling , Hörbuch, Digital, 418min
The ‘Voice of the Year’ competition introduced and sponsored by Naxos AudioBooks and The Times books pages, edited by Erica Wagner, took place in Spring 2004. Readers without any formal drama training or professional acting experience were invited to send in recordings of a short extract of either Dickens, Austen or from The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and an own choice. The judging panel - Martin Jarvis, Juliet Stevenson, and Anton Lesser, with John Tydeman, David Timson, and Christina Hardyment (audiobook reviewer for The Times), under the chairmanship of Naxos AudioBooks’ managing director Nicolas Soames – chose the winner and finalists from nearly one thousand entries. First prize was to read a classic for Naxos AudioBooks. The winner was Maurice West, a fifty-five-year-old English teacher from Croydon. His chosen piece was from Tom Jones and he was invited to read an extended abridgement – 6-CD set – of the same novel. ‘We were very impressed by the natural storytelling talent shown by Mr West, with a strong narrative character, a sense of period style as well as a firm grasp of the many characters who appear,’ said Nicolas Soames. After graduating from Cambridge, Mr West applied to LAMDA on the main acting course and was accepted. Unfortunately, he didn’t have sufficient funds to take up the offer and had to confine his thespian interests to amateur dramatics. Now, later in life, he has a chance to open a new thread of activity. This 6 CD recording of Tom Jones is an important addition to the eighteenth-century audio library on Naxos AudioBooks.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Strangers All
Though they all live in and share the same home, the Carter children could not be more different. Murray Carter (Preston Foster), the shopkeeper, is the conscientious provider who keeps his mother, Anna (May Robson), and the family afloat after their father's passing. Dick Carter (William Bakewell) believes himself the greatest thespian since Barrymore, treating his family to a series of histrionic soliloquies. Lewis Carter (James Bush) is a budding revolutionary, too busy trying to overthrow the capitalist empire to hold down a job. College girl Lily Carter (Florine McKinney) carries the family's hopes for the future but returns from school with a scandalous secret. It is Anna's faith and love for all her offspring that acts as the glue that keeps her quarrelsome family together. But as Murray works to avoid economic ruin, Dick's selfish dreams and Lewis' rabble-rousing create stress that threatens to drive the Carters apart.- Shop: odax
