Quality Street
J. M. Barrie
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Two sisters living on Quality Street set up and run a school for children after the local doctor heads off to fight Napoleon. Ten years later he returns, thinking that all the adventures have been his, and that the old life in Quality Street has waited, as in a sleep, to be resumed on the day of his return. Katharine Hepburn starred in a movie version made in 1937. The Quality Street chocolates were named after the play. - Summary by ToddHW

Reviews
Happy End, Again
Donald Gilmore
As one of the readers, I really don't feel it is proper to review this work. Let's just say that it was good to hear the finished product.
Tremendously Enjoyable
Bibliophile
As full of wit and imagination as you might expect from Barrie, but charmingly light entertainment and well performed by the readers. An absolute delight. Well done and thanks to all the volunteers.
