"If it were I who were to be always young and the picture to grow old, I would give my soul for it." So says Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde's brilliant creation who sells his soul for youth and beauty.©2014 Audible, Inc. (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Critic reviews

" The Picture of Dorian Gray is now universally regarded as a major Victorian novel, and has been adapted for the stage, film, and television more than a dozen times, with no end in sight." (David J. Skal, Horror: Another 100 Best Books)

I first read this many years ago and felt it was an over long short story. Coming back to it now I am prepared to linger over the luscious prose. Just wonderful and beautifully performed in this version. Bravo!

A classic for a reason

A wonderful story divinely narrated. Edward Petherbridge has the most perfect voice for this, or indeed any, classic novel.

Wonderful

Brilliant book, beautifully written and beautifully read. Read a paperback version before but the narrator really brought it to life.

Fantastic

Enjoyed from start to finish. Fantastic story and fantastic narration. I had not read this book before so didn’t know what to expect. Was very enjoyable.

Loved it!

Sad and with a creeping feeing of doom written by a man who must have been at his lowest when he wrote this tale. Scary, mostly due to its cynicism, and empty Wildian jokes. And read by one of my favourite British actors who is as good a reader as an actor.

One of the best horror stories
