I bought this set on a whim several months ago. Haven't regretted it for a second! I didn't know what I was missing until I started listening to these CD's. Unlike TV, this requires you to use your imagination. Trying to visualize what is transpiring and what the characters look like is more fun that I could have imagined. Beats today's in-your-face TV by a country mile. Now I understand why radio was so popular in its' day, and remained so for many years after television hit the scene. You will most likely find yourself listening to these CD's over and over again. I certainly do. They'll transport you to another time & place.
