Leaves from the Highland Journals of QUEEN VICTORIA performed by VIRGINIA McKENNA

“...these journals offer us so many insights into the paraphernalia that accompanied the royal progress north... Virginia McKenna reads beautifully.” (Sunday Times)

The Journals of DOROTHY WORDSWORTH performed by JENNY AGUTTER

“The English countryside at the end of the 18th century is brought almost photographically before us and Jenny Agutter brings her splendidly to life.” (Good Book Guide)
