Sense and Sensibility & Pride and Prejudice, with Songs from Regency England Lib/E Jane Austen

In this delightful double bill, narrator Alison Larkin's AudioFile Earphones Award-winning recording of Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice are followed by songs from Regency England to give listeners a sense of what after-dinner family entertainment might have sounded like in Jane Austen's time.

Recorded in a drawing room not unlike the Bennets', a young lady who sounds suspiciously like Mary Bennet sings The Lonely Ash Grove, Ye Banks and Braes, and Down by the Salley Gardens.
