The Guest by Charles Dickens - Full Audiobook | Short Story

[@YvonneWilson312]

Really enjoying your Dickens and Wilkie Collins narrations, Elliot (not that I don't enjoy all the other ones, of course!). You are finding some of the lesser known tales and it really is a joy to hear them. Many people have been rather snobbish about Wilkie Collins in the past and I have always thought it is grossly unfair and unjustified. He was a brilliant writer! Charles Dickens really rated him and that speaks volumes!

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

So glad you’re enjoying these, Yvonne. Wilkie Collins will also be part of this collection so hopefully some more to look forward to!

Classic Dickens

[@susanknight4841]

I love Dickens, and thought I'd read all his stories but this was a new one to me. Listening to this with earphones in bed I had to stop because I kept laughing 😅 The reader was a bit dry for me, but not bad. Dickens is so funny! Never heard or read this one before! It's funny because of the deadapan slightly bewildered tone to the text, and the turn of phrase just struck me as more and more funny as I went on. The description of the coach ride is probably the best ever. I'll never complain about a 2 day flight anywhere again! When the bed started shaking I had to stop in case I woke up my husband. :D

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Many thanks for listening, Susan! It’s certainly an interesting collection of stories

Your narrations enhance the legacy of the “gentleman’s pen” age- when BOTH sexes were ROMANTIC. Lovely work. My limited funds compel me to “like” & “comment” as my thank you! So, many thanks & blessings to you.

Great bedtime story. Still don’t know how it ends. Started close to twenty times, and half the times I don’t even get to the inn.

"For Man and Beast" - Dickens cared very much about animals also - he wrote about the evil brutality they suffered; Still suffer 😔😔😔

[@Shineon83]

….This was one of the most ludicrous short stories I’ve heard - with absurdities stacking one atop another, I ended up choking from laughing several times…. “….A sudden fear came to me: What if ( like the elderly prisoner released from the Bastille after 30 years ) I find myself UNABLE to leave the Inn when finally freed to do so-and instead, burst into tears, and beg to be allowed to stay?”….😂

What is this temple he's talking about? I wonder if it's a gentleman's club or something.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Ah! Temple is an area of London on the Thames embankment. It was the area where Dickens worked and is home to legal offices to this day. If you’re ever in London it’s certainly worth visiting as it’s probably the best example of Dickens-era architecture anywhere in the city

[@er6730]

​@@er6730I visited Temple area when I was in London years ago. We went there at the crack of dawn to actually go in the Temple Church. I read the Da Vinci Code on the plane from Australia. 😊. Beautiful architecture there. The Church is a MUST as well.

[@ecoquilting7077]

Vocabulary fail! The narrator is the character who is telling the story. The reader is not the narrator. Give Dickens his due, he was no slouch reader himself, I hear, and certainly knew the difference.

[@shelleywinters6763]

Not his best work. I think some of those stories about Inns and Tavern's is true or based on true stories. Perhaps Charles was able to bring something extra to the story, I understand he read them out to an audience. I thought I'd better start going through his works as part of a literature challenge. Thanks for reading this to us. I doubt I could have got through it otherwise.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

It’s such a curious setup story as you really have no idea what direction it’s going to take. Very much enjoying exploring all the resulting tales!

⁠​⁠​⁠@@janisfrazee2020I like the collation of time codes 1:58 & 2:08; the two seamlessly create commentary suggesting GRACE, holding off of unnecessary judgements, & how to ease one’s own burdens with quiet contemplative practices which will let one go about their way much lighter. If I am off…oh well, then what I thought seemed an inspired suggestive reply. Cheers! E.P. 🍄🪨🐚🎋🎼🎹 “Oh, oh happy day!” -Nick Cave
